1990 Press Photo Nancy Matousek prep for Villa Louis Picnic in Prairie du Chien

Nancy Matousek (above), at work in the Villa Louis kitchen, will oversee the preparation of Victorian recipes for a picnic on Saturday. --- Imagine It: a leisurely picnic on the lawn, a sumptuous feast including fried Mississippi catfish, spiced nutmeg melon, homemade pies and cakes. And while you wait; a game of croquet, perhaps? This picture of a wealthy Victorian's summer day will be recreated Saturday at the fourth annual Villa Louis Picnic and Victorian Food Fest in Prairie du Chien.
