ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WFRV) - Students from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) joined forces with the National Railroad Museum on Thursday to bring holiday spirit to Ashwaubenon. Students in NWTC's gas utilities program set up electrical and mechanical systems for the museum’s Northern Lights display, along with a hot chocolate station. Organizers noted the project offers students real-world experience while making a meaningful impact on the community.
