Hello List,
        You have all been so helpful in the past, I thought some one mught
point me in the right direction here.  One of the structures we have at
our site is a reconstructed 1860s miliutary bakery.  We use this
facility about six times a year for living history demonstrations, but
the rest of the time, it is open for visitors with little
interpratation.  We are in the process of creating a display panel to
explain the bakery's function, and the process of baking bread, but what
we lack is bread.  Any suggestions?  Would baked bread that has been
preserved for display work, or would we have a problem with animal
infestation (field mice)?  The bakery doors are open during the day.
One suggestion was to use artificial loaves of bread, but I was
wondering about the look, and durability of artificial loaves.  Oh, the
loaves will be displayed on a proof (cooling) rack, and I thought a
couple of dozen loaves would be about the number on display.  Any
comments would be greatly appreaciated, and you can reply off list if
you like.  Thanks in advance.
