A wedding was held...and a custom upheld.

On 09.09.23, Alexis and Noah Marx held their wedding reception at the Reading Liederkranz. What a wonderful venue!

As part of the festivities, they had a Baumstamm sägen (sawing of tree trunk), which is an old German wedding custom. It consists of cutting a log, which represents the first obstacle that the couple must overcome in their marriage. They must work together to “overcome the obstacle” by sawing through the log. Using a saw with two handles, the couple demonstrates their teamwork to friends and family, and their willingness and ability to master the difficulties that inevitably arise in a marriage.

Come help with Oktoberfest prep on Sept. 13

On Wednesday, Sept. 13, we have another night of food prep in the outdoor kitchen for Oktoberfest. Our volunteers have been putting in yeoman's work in getting all the wonderful German foods ready for the event, but many hands make light work so the more volunteers we get, the faster things get done. Come out at 5 p.m. to help Dieter and the crew!
