Rodeo Night, NLNU Biennial Conference

"Wild West Bonanza: NLNU Biennial Conference

October 27, 2022 Nursing delegates from across Atlantic Canada gathered for an unforgettable evening of camaraderie and excitement at the Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland. This year's meet and greet was themed "Wild West Bonanza" to complement a lively performance by the Spirit of NL.

Our photo booth featured the NL Nurses Union sign as a backdrop, surrounded by rustic hay bales, cheerful sunflowers, and classic western hats. To enhance the Wild West atmosphere, we scattered additional hay bales and silhouettes throughout the venue. A creative covered wagon centerpiece was crafted from one of the tables.

Guests dined at tables adorned with red and white checkered runners and a variety of thematic centerpieces. These included a cowboy hat resting against a wood slice with sunflowers, gold wine bottles accompanied by sunflowers and handkerchiefs, and jute-wrapped wine bottles sporting glittery hats, red florals, and mason jars with floating candles.

To complete the immersive experience, each table was named after a fictional western town, whisking our nurse attendees away to a night of fun and adventure in the Wild West!"
