Together with their children,they moved to northern Wisconsin in 1951 looking for a better life. They purchased a large,private home with the intention of converting it to a resort. Using a family recipe for homemade pizza,they began to slowly build their reputation for fine homemade foods. Times were difficult,and for 8 years Clara would work the winter months in Chicago at Stouffers as a waitress,while Kasimer stayed with the children in Wisconsin. It was the only way to keep the resort open. Each Spring,Clara would travel by train back to the northwoods to be with the family and prepare for the busy summer tourist season. Gradually,they were able to make enough money so Clara could stay at the resort all year. You can still visit the resort today. It's called th e Enchanged Inn and is owned and continues to be operated by the next generation of the Draganowski family. In 1961,Kas and Clara took advantage of the opportunity to purchase a very small location on Main Street in Rice Lake,Wisconsin. Reas the rest of this at http://www.draganettis.com/history.htm
