WISE Division Youth Group

WCGD also plays host to the modular layout of the Wisconsin Southeastern Division of the National Model Railroad Association (WISE Div. NMRA) Youth Group, also known as "Little WISE Guys and Gals".

Youth Group member Sydney poses with the structure she built and entered in the contest at
the WISE Meet, for which she won first place. Her rebuilt module still needs some scenery!
