CeremonialSupplies.com has the best items on the web when it comes to groundbreakings - an important landmark in the life of a company, a business, or a brand, and we have the perfect display case for ceremonial groundbreaking shovels. From ancient times, the act of groundbreaking has been considered a revered occasion when the first act of construction takes place by breaking ground and shoveling first dirt. It is a symbolic architectural ritual that puts forth the proposition that a dedication, or a consecration of ground, is essentially an exchange of petition and reward for the fortunate start and completion of a building project. It is expected that the leading people in such a project, such as the Owner, the President, CEO, or other significant person in a leadership role, will be the person to break first ground, but not necessarily the person invoking a dedication. The importance of team work is evident in a groundbreaking, and a combination of key people are usually present and taking part. For example, the Owner of a business that has expanded and now requires its own building, may want to have the key people who head the different sections, or departments of the business, take part in the groundbreaking. In addition, the Owner may invite city officials like the City Mayor, the local Commissioner, and the head of a religious organization, to participate as well, and deliver dedication speeches. In preparation for this, the business should know exactly who will be receiving appreciation plaques, and what will happen to the ceremonial groundbreaking shovels once the groundbreaking has taken place, since it is unlikely the City Mayor, or a similar other government or religious representative will need, want, or even have room in their office to keep the groundbreaking shovel they used in the ceremony. CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect solution with the golden ceremonial groundbreaking shovels display case.

The golden ceremonial groundbreaking shovel display case is meant to hold up to 2 ceremonial shovels, or a groundbreaking shovel and 1 hard hat, along with an engraving metal plate. This means that the groundbreaking shovel used by the Owner or CEO of a business, along with let's say, the ceremonial shovel used by the Mayor, or any other local government representative, would both be kept in a prestigious case, each shovel with its own customized dedication plate. This way, both mementos used in the landmark event, are displayed and preserved for posterity. Groundbreaking ceremonies are prominent and important landmarks in the growth of a business or a company, and the groundbreaking shovels and hard hats used in such an event become treasured items that the Owner, CEO, or such other important VIPs will want to keep and preserve, and may well become part of a family legacy. The display case is also perfect to preserve one entire kit of ceremonial shovel and hard hat used by a VIP. CeremonialSupplies.com offers a crafted quality, distinguished display case constructed from 100% wood in a finish lacquer of cherry wood, oak, walnut, or a black finish with a total dimension of 19" width x 45.5" height x 6/25" depth and weighing 25 lbs to hold up to 2 shovels over a felt background in red, royal blue, white, or black. The top of the case has a sheer, clear see-through acrylic cover held within a beveled wood frame for added distinction. The cover and case are held secure with three golden latches.

All of CeremonialSupplies.com ceremonial groundbreaking shovels have stainless steel blades. This means they don't rust or stain. They are further embellished through time consuming hand-finish processes that provide additional shine and polish, making these ceremonial shovels worthy of preservation and display. This elegant case holds all the D-style handle shovels carried by CeremonialSupplies.com, including the VIP Ceremonial Groundbreaking Mirror Gold shovel, the Groundbreaking VIP Mirror Chrome Ceremonial shovel, the Deluxe Ceremonial Groundbreaking Chrome Head shovel, the Standard Chromed Stainless Steel Groundbreaking shovel, or any of the colorful, regular size groundbreaking shovels. This beautiful display case can be placed vertically on its own, or as part of a larger display case or unit, or it can be placed horizontally over a mantel piece and it's the perfect gift for a high-profile company representative. If your job is to secure a gift that is sure to impress the Boss, customize this beautiful display case with a commemorative message or dedication, and create a memorable keepsake that is different, classy, and will be admired by all. If you are looking fro high-quality products, it is no coincidence that you have found us.

The new school year is around the corner and Georgia schools are getting banners ready to welcome students from K-12 grades. CeremonialSupplies.com has the best school banners to decorate the entrances, the cafeteria, auditorium, gymnasium, library, hallways, and even your favorite Math class! Every student should feel welcomed and motivated with a light touch of humor, to strive for important scholastic goals that will shape their future. The history of Georgia, one of the original 13 colonies is filled with historical names of people who shaped this country, and many schools are named after them. One of the most influential thinkers in the world, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born in Atlanta, and his name honors two elementary schools, one in Atlanta, and the other in Macon, and a high school in Lithonia. What better way to inspire children in these schools, than by connecting them with the story of their school's namesake? Display a school banner with a quote by Dr. King, such as "Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true Education."

Our extra wide ribbons available in 8", 10" and 12" are also called "banner size" ribbons, or banners, and they are customizable, and available in a variety of colors to match those of your school. Purple and white are the colors of Baldwin High School in Milledgeville, named after Abraham Baldwin, a founding father who represented Georgia at the Continental Congress and helped draft the Constitution. His dedicated interest in the importance of education helped establish the University of Georgia, co-founded with Lyman Hall, who is also considered a founding father and one of the three representatives from Georgia who signed the Declaration of Independence. Lyman was a Yale graduate and an ordained minister. He also became a doctor and practiced medicine in Savannah after the Revolutionary War and eventually was elected governor in 1783. Two elementary schools, one in Gainesville, and the other in Hinesville bear his name.

There are two middle schools and one high school that have the name Sequoyah. Did you know that Sequoyah was American-Cherokee, the son of a Cherokee woman named Wut-teh, the niece of a Cherokee chief, and a Virginia fur trader named Nathaniel Gist? His English name was George Gist, and he was considered a man whose knowledge encompassed many subjects. Sequoyah created a writing system of the Cherokee language known as the Cherokee Syllabary, that enabled Cherokee people to write and communicate with each other across distances, in their native tongue. This led to the publication of America's first newspaper printed in native American language, The Cherokee Phoenix, printed in New Echota, Georgia. Riverdale and Doraville, have two middle schools named Sequoyah, and Sequoyah High School is in Canton. School banners in black or yellow, the school's colors, are also available at CeremonialSupplies.com.

Charles Holmes Herty, a chemist and visionary born in Milledgeville, Georgia, organized the first football team of the University of Georgia when he attended the school, and raised money for improved athletic facilities. He helped save the South's naval stores industry from the threat of deforestation by creating an innovative cup and gutter system for collecting resin from pine trees. His experiments proved that young pine trees could make quality paper pulp by using an acidic sulfite solution to digest the wood and his gamble paid off when 2 leading publishers in Texas and Oklahoma invested in the South's first newsprint mill. Charles Holmes Herty Elementary in Savannah is named after him. Georgia's rich historical accomplishments are an inspiration for young minds, and creating motivational messages on school banners, is a great way to spark student's inquisitive nature. A printed school banner, or extra-wide ribbon with excerpts of some of these famous people's names, or quotes, are tools of inspiration for students, especially in those schools that bear their names.

Other noteworthy personalities that hail from Georgia are, John Deveaux, one of many African-Americans to hold a prestigious office under the presidency of William McKinley, and founder of the Savannah Tribune, Savannah's first African-American newspaper; Mary Musgrove, The daughter of a Creek mother and English father, Mary Musgrove proved instrumental in maintaining peace and fair trade between the Creek nation and the new Georgia colony. She married John Musgrove in 1717 and quickly established a trading post. She attracted the attention of General James Oglethorpe and served as his main interpreter from 1733 to 1743; Ty Cobb, baseball player, born in Narrows; and James Carter, peanut farmer born in Plains, Georgia, who became President of the United States.

Going back to school is a way of life in our country, but it was not always so. The first school in the United States was founded in 1837 by Horace Mann in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Alabama has a rich history that goes back to the ancient Alibamu, and the Mobile, Cherokee, and other tribes of native Americans, and the Conquistadors, the first of which were the Spanish explorers Alvarez de Pineda in 1519, who sailed into Mobile Bay, and Hernando de Soto's 1540 exploration into Alabama. It was recorded by de Soto's secretary, Rodrigo Ranjel, that the expedition encountered giants, one of which was the chief Tuscaloosa. Later the English claimed the north of the Gulf of Mexico, only to exchange the land with the French briefly, and finally after the Revolutionary War, the land belonged to the US as the Mississippi Territory until the states of Mississippi and Alabama were admitted to the Union. Walking through the hallways of their Alabama school, encourage your students to feel pride in their school, Alabama's history, and in the studies they're about to undertake!

Of these, Green Academy survived the longest but was burnt down by Union troops during the Civil War. After they were restored, they were incorporated into Huntsville public school system. Today there are about 7,000 plus teachers in Alabama, and over 800,000 students in Alabama public schools.

Delaware is one of the oldest, historical states in the nation, starting with New Castle, the first county that broke away from English rule when it became independent from Pennsylvania in 1704. The city of Wilmington was an important embarkation point for the Underground Railroad for runaway slaves, and Thomas Garrett, a white Quaker, was known as a great "station master" as he helped thousands of slaves make it to the northern free states, and reunited countless families. In June of 1868 he penned a famous letter in which he speaks of how he came to know, and work with, Harriet Tubman. After the Civil War, the first African American school in America was Howard High School, founded in Wilmington in 1867 and named after General Oliver Otis Howard. Howard was appointed commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau that helped former slaves by creating schools, negotiating work contacts, and medical aid. Over the years Wilmington's African American business communities flourished. Overlapping into  Wilmington, is Brandywine Valley where the Battle of Brandywine was fought, where the du Pont's established their synthetic chemical company and built their extravagant mansions and gardens at Longwood, Winterhur, Nemours, and Hagley.  The pride in these, and many other historical achievements, make Delaware schools some of the most motivating institutions, and a new school year opens the doors for new advancements, and new opportunities in learning. Welcome the students to the 2019 - 2020 school year with beautiful streaming banners that will inspire students to over-achieve, knowing they are attending school in one of the most historically rich states of the union!

The 4th of July is the most celebrated holiday in the US and a time when people like to enjoy the outdoors! Summer is at its peak, and patriotic buntings, water slides, BBQ, hot dogs, and apple pie seem to be a fixture in the neatly manicured lawns of homes throughout the State, from Bardstown, Loretto, and Louisville, to Frankfort and Lexington, the spirit of America is alive and well throughout Kentucky on the country's birthday, and here at www.CeremonialSupplies.com we offer all the necessary trimmings to decorate for a memorable company or family holiday. We are big on ribbons because they are the most versatile tools to decorate a 4th of July, or any other event. Kentucky has big celebrations in Louisville Waterfront Park, Downtown Lexington, and at Barren River Lake State Park, and since many companies and enterprises combine a corporate family picnic with the 4th of July, these are the preferred locations by event planners tasked with organizing a 4th of July company picnic in Kentucky. The following are the essential supplies and basic set up for decorating a company summer picnic, on Independence Day!

Outdoor summer picnics and barbecues are always fun, but there's always a chance that mother nature will shower us with love. Whether the day is sunny and bright, or cloudy and rainy, setting up a tent is an excellent idea. The tent can protect from the sun as much as from the rain. It's here also where the food can be set up, a dance floor organized, and where company VIP's can address the group. A standard, large white tent is a must-have for a 4th of July company picnic, or any other celebration, and decorating it is not only simple, but it offers an opportunity to emphasize the theme. Extra wide red, white, and blue ribbons will do the trick, and www.CeremonialSupplies.com has the best supply of decorative ribbons available online. 8" wide ribbons are the perfect size to drape a tent from the center of the ceiling, flowing outward and gathered at the corners. Table decorations can follow the same color theme of the ceiling ribbons with solid red, white, and blue or with the blue background star spangled banner, the patriotic red and white stripes ribbon, or both combined in the stars and stripes ribbons. This brings together the decor of the entire area in a pleasing manner. A popular idea for table ribbon runners is to personalize ribbons, or customized ribbons with the name of the event, logo, or similar messages. These customized ribbons serve as table decorations and keepsake souvenirs at the end of the event. This reusable, or double-use practice goes a long way in doing our part to keep our environment as uncluttered as possible. For your Kentucky 4th of July company picnic, consider the versatile ribbon for your decorations, and shop at www.CeremonialSupplies.com. You will find our  products are of the highest quality, our prices are friendly and affordable, our customer service attentive and knowledgeable, and best of all we ship to wherever you are in the Blue Grass State - from Louisville, Lexington, and Bowling Green to Frankfort, Paducah and Owensboro and everywhere in between! Show off your patriotism and love for America this 4th of July and embellish your outfit with a military flag and eagle pin, or love of country pin of red, white, and blue, and celebrate the colonial days with historic memorabilia. For instance, did you know that Stoneware and Co., founded in 1815 is one of the oldest stoneware manufacturers in the country? They've been making stoneware products for home and garden from the company's historic headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky ever since.

No company 4th of July picnic is complete without a good ol' fashioned baseball game, and in Kentucky, you bet the Louisville Slugger will be the bat of choice! Did you know the "Louisville Slugger" bat, the signature product of J. F. Hillerich, registered trademarked in 1894, was the first product ever endorsed by a professional athlete? Honus "The Flying Dutchman" Wagner, superstar shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates used the bat made by Hillerich in 1905 and became the first athlete to sign an endorsement contract. Other baseball legends who have swung Louisville slugger bats have included Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, George Brett, Ken Friffey Jr., and Derek Jeter.
