Shows
CWMR has been attending train shows with its modular layouts since fall of 1987. Two annual events we always attend are Waupaca Model Railroad Club's annual Strawberry Fest and Marshfield's Hub City Model Railroad Club's annual show. We've also been involved with NMRA Division and National meets. We have begun attending other trains shows in recent years including Green Bay's Titletown Train Show.
Not to be outdone, CWMR has had a winter train show either in Plover or Stevens Point since the early 1990's. After the Manufacturer's Direct Mall in Plover, WI closed we went to Center Point Market Place (now also closed) located in Stevens Point, WI. Since 2008 we have hosted a two day show called Arctic Run held in January.

Division Meets
CWMR has hosted several Division level meets. We are located in the Winnebagoland Division of the NMRA.Our first Division Meet was held April 16, 1988, our first anniversary! Division Meets in 1994, 2000 and 2009 were to follow.
NMRA National Meet
The NMRA National Meet was held in Madison, WI during the summer of 1997. One of the tours offered was a trip to Stevens Point to see the Wisconsin Central Ltd.'s roundhouse and yards located here. As part of the package a tour of Don's home layout and lunch at our clubhouse was included. See photos.
