Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the country, Colorado had a strong economy last year and shows no signs of slowing down in 2019. A magnet for tech startups, rich in resources and grazing soil, it looks like the Centennial State's booming economy will be ushering in ceremonial groundbreaking shovels for Colorado's seitz soil! The state joined the union on August 1, 1876, one hundred years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and thus nick-named the "Centennial" State. Topping Colorado's industries driving the economy are technology, agriculture, real estate, and tourism. This means more people, more businesses, and more groundbreaking ceremonies. In the state where the air is the thinnest, and mountains are the highest, here are a few tips on how to make your groundbreaking ceremony in Colorado a memorable occasion for everyone, when the time comes for speeches and dedications.

Bringing Prehistoric Colorado Alive At A Groundbreaking Ceremony

The human history of Colorado can be traced to more than 14,000 ago. When conducting a groundbreaking ceremony, in addition to the ceremonial groundbreaking shovels, the hard hats, the stand and display cases for the groundbreaking ceremonial shovel, keepsakes and decorations, it is also customary to have speeches and dedications presented by VIPs, local government officials, and personalities of prominence. Remembering and recounting the prehistoric past of Colorado is a powerful way to get the involvement and attention of the guests and attendees. For example, located just 17 miles by car from Denver, you can find the small municipality of Morrison, where in "Dinosaur Ridge," tracks and other dinosaur fossils are visible along the hillside off Alameda Parkway. There have been so many species of dinosaurs discovered at Dinosaur Ridge that the Stegosaurus was named the state fossil of Colorado! And this is not the only place either! There's the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Woodland Park, and the paleontological site of Garden Park in Fremont County, Colorado known for its Jurassic dinosaurs and the role the specimens played in the Bone Wars, aka the Great Dinosaur Rush, marked by the intense scientific rivalry between paleontologists Othniel Marsh and Edward Cope. Locations of prehistoric significance make for great introductions in dedicatory speeches in a groundbreaking ceremony, after all, it's interesting to consider what lies beneath the sod-cutting.

If old dinosaur bones aren't the right topic for your groundbreaking ceremony in Colorado, you might want to reference it's altitude! The highest mean elevation of any state at 6,800'. Alma, located in Park County, Colorado at 10,578 feet, is the highest incorporated municipality in the US with permanent residents - although they're not many. Other high altitude areas are Blanca Peak, the highest summit of the Sierra Blanca Massif, the Sangre de Cristo Range, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and it's located near the town of Alamosa.

Dinosaur bones and the Rocky Mountains are themes that can easily be incorporated into a groundbreaking speech or a dedication in Colorado, but if you'd like to reference other notable facts about the Centennial State, there are plenty! For example The prestigious US Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs; Colfax Avenue in Denver is the longest continuous street in America; the hymn "America the Beautiful" was inspired by the view from Pikes Peak; Pueblo, Colorado is the only city in America with four living recipients of the Medal of Honor; Dove Creek is the "Pinto Bean" capital of the world, and Rocky Ford is the "melon capital of the world"; and shootout at the OK corral survivor, dentist, gambler, and gunslinger extraordinaire, John Henry "Doc" Holiday succumbed to tuberculosis in Glenwood Springs.

Regardless what your groundbreaking ceremony's theme is for the dedication speeches, the essential items will be a breeze to organize, especially that you can count on CeremonialSupplies.com and shop our varied styles of groundbreaking shovels, all stainless steel that will not rust - ever. You can choose from our line of full-size shovels 41" high with a 9.5" wide blade, standard chrome groundbreaking shovel with wood D-style handle, or our deluxe, polished chrome sod-cutting shovel with wood and metal D-style handle, the traditional long stem, polished chrome blade shovel, or the mirror polished chrome ceremonial groundbreaking shovel which is the top of the line for a presentation shovel that will be preserved and displayed. For a more colorful groundbreaking ceremony we also offer full-size groundbreaking shovels with your choice of color blade in blue, green, red, yellow, orange, and pink. As more children join their parents in the landmark occasion of a first ground cutting ceremony, CeremonialSupplies.com also offers the perfect sized groundbreaking shovel for the little people!

With ever expanding theme creativity and weeks away from prom season, teenagers across the country will dress up, rent a limo to go to their last high school dance. In Florida, this tradition is celebrated with passion, glamour, and extravagance and if anyone wants to duplicate the Sunshine State's panache for over the top, CeremonialSupplies.com is here to help you with the essentials for a Florida red carpet prom! CeremonialSupplies.com has been providing red event carpets (and blue, green, purple, black, and pink aisle runners too!) crowd management stanchions and rope, and step and repeat banners for proms in South Florida and all across the country for a long time, and the most important thing after securing the venue, is obtaining the must have items that will raise the bar. This is where we come in. CeremonialSupplies.com is the best one-stop shop online to get all your prom supplies for this annual tradition. But how did this tradition begin in the first place? And what exactly are the essentials for a grand red carpet prom?

The History of Prom

Prom is short for "Promenade," which means a pathway, or walkway as one may see along the beach, or boardwalk, and refers to formally introducing a person or more into society, such as a debutante ball when the guests of honor parade into the ballroom, for example. This formal introduction parade, or promenade, began in America in the late 1800's in colleges and universities and more specifically, in Ivy League schools where early mentions cite a traditional, formal presentation, during which guests were dressed in black tie and gowns and where there was dancing and a concert. There's an early reference to prom in an 1894 diary entry made by a young, male student from Amherst College, where he recounts an invitation to attend a prom at Smith College. At the turn of the century, these formal presentation events spread to high schools, and by the 30's prom flourished into an American tradition. From its early beginnings in school auditoriums decorated with signs and ribbons to dinners with bands, red carpet, stanchions, and step and repeat backdrop banners, prom has come a long way.

Planning and Executing a Great Red Carpet Prom in Florida

Putting on a dinner party takes planning and organization so imagine a prom that involves hundreds of young people. The senior student body and school administration are usually the organizers of a prom dance in Florida and most likely, everywhere else. The time to plan? As soon as the school year starts. At this point you're looking to determine the budget, and the venue. How will your school raise the funds, and, where will you spend it? Florida's climate, especially South Florida communities along the Gold Coast from Daytona, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, and the Florida Keys have the advantage of outdoor venues that were either built for, or have been revamped for tourism. A prom night at the Coral Castle for instance, or at Jungle Island have the benefit of immersion in natural decor, and in the case of Homestead's yet unexplained construction of Coral Castle, a supernatural vibe. Then there's Miami Beach with a plethora of themed, ocean front hotels that boast spectacular ballrooms perfect for prom!

Faena Hotel, which has overtaken the famed Delano for a museum-like inspired decor is Miami's newest sensation. The Faena, located on 32nd and Collins in Miami Beach, provides everything you need to house a one-of-a-kind South Florida prom! From live productions entertainment, to an artsy environment that boasts a theater setting for costume dances, an artist-designed roller skating rink, and the gilded skeleton of a woolly mammoth on display in the garden of the hotel. Cape Canaveral Port, Fort Lauderdale Port, and the cruise capital of the world, the Port of Miami, are home to the world's fanciest cruise ships and yet another option for a South Florida prom venue where everything from red carpet to entertainment is provided. Thanks to Florida's all-around temperate climate, picking a location best suited for the excitement of prom is only limited by the number of bake sales, car washes, and fundraisers to meet the budget! The first order of business is to start planning as soon as the school year begins.

What's the Red Carpet For And, What About Keepsakes?

Technically, it isn't just one red carpet you will need for a Florida prom, nor does the walkway of gods and goddesses need to be red either. Combining a royal blue carpet runner, or an emerald green aisle carpet, richly textured purple aisle runner, or the all-femininely empowering pink event carpet with your school's colors is essential to bring the prom's decoration together. Imagine Miami Senior High's prom entrance on a brilliant, blue carpet with surrounding decor in gold? Perhaps befitting to the Faena's location near the golden woolly mammoth! Or Miami Killian High laying out the green carpet at the nature-laden Jungle Island, or Orchid Jungle? And how regal a Southwest Miami High purple carpet runner can look! CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of high-quality, trimmed-finished, floor-hugging carpet runners to match your school color, all of them at budget friendly prices, and with our flawless shipping wherever you are in Florida or anywhere else in the world, you get your supplies promptly. The second red carpet belongs by the official step and repeat banner that has your school's insignia and the graduating class year. Just like a Hollywood premiere, students get their picture taken in front of the step and repeat and everyone walks away with a memento of the landmark event. Framing the carpet aisle runners at the entrance and at the step and repeat with the classic golden dome top stanchions and velvet rope of matching color is the icing on the cake! Personalized ribbons are a perfect prom keepsake. Customized ribbons with the school name and graduating year can be arranged in different sizes, available from 2" wide up to 10" wide, to decorate tables, attached to helium balloons, or dripping from the dance floor ceiling. The personalized ribbons serve the dual purpose of fancy decoration and a keepsake memento that like the photographs, create an unforgettable event.

Whether you live in sunny, bright, balmy Florida, or anywhere else in the country, the steps for organizing a stunning red carpet prom are the same: plan, organize, and count on CeremonialSupplies.com for friendly priced event carpet runners, stanchions and rope, step and repeat banners and personalized ribbons.

Prom season is next month! Getting ready for their first public, social affair is a big deal for South Florida high school seniors. Many will be experiencing their first tuxedo and first formal gown, first limo ride and first time allowed to bypass a midnight curfew. Maybe. As students prepare for their last school dance by over taking the extravagance of previous year's prom, schools are preparing too, and especially when it comes to the perfect carpet runner for South Florida's best proms, CeremonialSupplies.com has just the right crimson pathway for these young gods and goddesses! Our plush, deluxe event carpet aisle runners are perfect for the grandiose productions South Florida graduating teenagers are organizing these days.

Last year South Florida's Christopher Columbus High School, a local, private South Florida high school included a real, caged tiger at prom night as part of their theme "Welcome to The Jungle." And whilst we know a caged tiger doesn't belong on the dance floor, it does prove that prom productions are getting to be as lavish as your imagination dares! Northwestern Senior High, Norland, Miami Southridge, William H Turner "Turner Tech", Booker T. Washington, and Miramar Senior High students went all out with some of the most sensational outfits seen on this side of the Academy Awards, with some students wearing bejeweled masks, hot rod emblazoned fire flamed tux, others drove up in exotic cars that matched their fantasy-styled, ultra glamorous garments, and in all, these young stars were shining brightly as they made their grand entrance. The more complex and extravagant the themes, the more reason to take the grand entrance up a notch with wide and long red carpet - or one of the other brilliant colors that match school colors like our deep blue carpet runner, the emerald green aisle carpet, the elegant black carpet, feminine empowering pink, and the regal purple aisle runner. These quality crafted deluxe event carpet runners are plush and luxurious and they're strong and sturdy for repeated use as long as they're taken care of and safely stored when not being used.

South Florida Prom Glam On The Red Carpet

The great thing about living and growing up in South Florida communities is that young people strive to support each other. Especially the young ladies, and one way they do this for example, is by treating high achieving seniors to make-overs for prom. New Level Excellence is a non-profit organization that steps up to help seniors who have excelled academically, held jobs, and will be going to college or joining the armed forces by helping them get their glam on for the red carpet prom by providing prom dresses, shoes, accessories, make-up, and hair styling as well as participating in a photo shoot. The radiant Northwestern High ladies made a stunning red carpet entrance, along with the rest of the student body for a spectacular prom that definitely ranks in South Florida's best! Remember that a red carpet walk does a lot more than create an attractive entrance - it uplifts the entire feel and decor of any event and CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect event carpet runner for your glamorous prom. Choose from our standard ceremonial red carpet or royal blue event carpet runner, our ceremonial kit with red event aisle runner and classic brass stanchions with red velvet rope, or any of our colorful deluxe event carpet runners in red, blue, green, black, pink and purple. Sizes vary and you can even choose your favorite color event runner in the width and length that best suits your entrance decor.

Miami High is one of the oldest schools in South Florida with distinguished alumni that includes Gil Amelio, CEO of Apple Computer; Desi Arnaz, bandleader, actor, TV producer, and star of I Love Lucy; John Dasburg, CEO of Burger King; Bob Graham, Governor of Florida and US Senator; Veronica Lake, silver screen star of the 40s; and Roscoe Parrish, NFL wide receiver for the San Diego Chargers. The theme for Miami High's 2018 prom was "A Night In 20's Paris" and the prom was held at the Treetop Ballroom in Jungle Island, (in retrospect the venue would have better suited Columbus High's theme) where the graduating seniors enjoyed a red carpet prom entrance, as well as a night of fun, dancing, and photos. Take your South Florida prom to a higher level by including a glamorous red carpet arrival with stanchions and rope, a step and repeat banner with your high school logo or mascot for the official photo, and the rest will fall into place. CeremonialSupplies.com has all the products to make your South Florida prom night shine and be one of the best! Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is attentive and knowledgeable, and our shipping is prompt and efficient. This prom season prepare your South Florida graduating seniors for the walk of the gods upon our plush event carpet aisle runners!

Apparently there is such a thing as the best prom in America and it looks like Pennsbury High in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania has been putting it on every year since 2012! Making a name for themselves by inviting high-profile celebrities for the dance, the Pennsylvania school has featured guests John Mayer, Asher Roth, Maroon 5, and Root's percussionist Quest Love. This is how you do it! Best Prom in America's Pennsbury Prom red carpet arrival parade kicks off the annual event that has become famous for putting on a great show! Can you imagine a prom photo with John Mayer?! (That someday you'll be showing your grandkids, like all grandparents do!)

The Red Carpet Aisle Runner At High School Prom!

Good luck to all graduates, and may they bask in the red carpet aisle runner at high school prom night! Let's be honest, all high schools put on a prom, and although the days of auditorium prom dances have long ago been replaced with hotel ballrooms and ballroom carpets, the most exciting part of the last high school dance, is actually the limo ride. Mundane. Not for this Philadelphia high school whose mission is to "recognize their proud tradition and diverse community and prepare all students to become creative, ethical, and critical thinkers for lifelong success in a global society." We suspect the kind of effort this statement promotes will prepare students for success in a galactic society as well! A mission with such fundamentally constructive ideals says much about the principles the graduating students of Pennsbury High propose to practice into virtues. No wonder CeremonialSupplies.com is the go-to online shop for event carpet runners! We love ceremonies and take special pride in being providers of the finest crafted red carpet aisle runners for prom dance, graduations, and all other meaningful occasions, and it's students like the ones from Pennsbury High who encourage us to want to lay the crimson pathway of the gods at their feet. Our prices are budget friendly, our customer service is knowledgeable and attentive, and we ship promptly and efficiently anywhere! Hear that Pennsbury High School?

On The Red Carpet Everybody Is A Star At The Promenade "Prom" Dance

Yup. That's what it's called, and in its early days it was similar to debutante ball, where teenagers dressed up formally for the first time and attended their first social event. These first, special occasions are themed in many ways and this is where Pennsbury stands out! Each year the graduating class improves upon the past ones, but one thing remains constant, the red carpet walk - that special walkway that makes everybody a star at the prom dance! It used to be that a 3' wide or 4' wide red carpet runner of 10' in length was considered a luxurious entrance to the dance, today, taking its cue from major productions such as the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes, high school prom productions use up to 6' wide and 50' long red carpet, relegating to 8th graders the smaller size version aisle runner. The point is giving the student the platform to beam in their first real dress up affair because on the red carpet everybody is a star at the prom dance!

As spring break comes to an end, high schools prepare for the most important social event of the school year. This is the perfect time to take note of your inventory supplies so you too can put on one of the best proms in America. CeremonialSupplies.com has everything you need. Come shop the perfect crimson carpet, or if you want to match your school colors with the ceremonial event carpet, you can choose from our deep blue ceremonial event carpet, or the plush, rich emerald green; the regal sophistication of the purple carpet aisle runner; the rich and elegant black carpet, or the femininely empowered pink carpet runner. Let us help you make your high school prom production an unforgettable event with our quality event carpets with 100% filament for a totally plush texture where gods and goddesses step upon!

Groundbreakings where kids participate have a way of inspiring our sense that these kids will someday be all grown up and embark on groundbreakings of their own. Groundbreaking ceremonies are symbolic gestures that go back, some say, to King Solomon's times, when the consecration of ground, which is essentially what happens at a first sod-cutting, involved all sorts of obscure sacrifices and complex rituals. Today modern man has found significant ways to anoint the ground upon which he hopes to build. One of these is involving the children of the main people who will be shoveling first dirt at a groundbreaking ceremony by having them stand alongside their parent and hold their own mini groundbreaking kids shovels. CeremonialSupplies.com understands the importance of landmark moments that honor traditions and encourage young kids to participate in projects with physical and visual impact in neighborhoods and communities. A quick review of photos and videos where a parent and their child are standing side by side with groundbreaking shovel in hand, provides inspiration for a wholesome future.

Groundbreaking Kid Shovels

Whether it's a family business, a corporate expansion, or a public structure, including kids in a groundbreaking ceremony is not just a way to give them something to do that doesn't involve their phone, it's a way to plant seeds of success in their young minds. The parent is most likely the owner, a partner, a high stakes shareholder, or the CEO and dressed in business attire, and standing next to them for the official groundbreaking ceremony photos their kids, wearing a miniature version of the same attire, or same color shirt to match CEO mom or dad's business suit, makes for the kind of keepsake that stands the test of time. Aside from dressing alike, the touch that makes this moment symbolic is the groundbreaking shovel and the message imparted in its logo, color, and shape. CeremonialSupplies.com has a selection of finely crafted, stainless steel groundbreaking shovels priced for every budget. Full size ceremonial shovels are 41" in height and the blade's width is 9.5" and have a D-Style handle. This handle is what differentiates ceremonial shovels, which are held in a specific position for the ceremony, photos and videos, from the traditional working shovels that are actually used to move dirt around. At Ceremonial.Supplies.com we have both, and more! The long stem traditional groundbreaking shovel has a stainless steel blade with polished chrome finish for elegant customization while maintaining the working shovel design. For more variation, we also have a full size line of colorful groundbreaking shovels in blue, red, orange, green, yellow and pink and a line of groundbreaking kid shovels that measure 26" in height, with a blade with of 6". These groundbreaking kid shovels are available in blue, red, green, yellow, orange, pink, and teal and both the full size groundbreaking colorful shovels and the groundbreaking kid shovels can be customized directly on the stem, with an engraving plate that is placed on the stem, on the handle, on the blade or all three! For the colorful groundbreaking shovels, logos look best when it's one single color on color. There are a few exceptions where a multiple colored logo will look good over blue, red, and yellow colored shovel blades.

Before the actual ceremony your ceremonial groundbreaking shovels can be dressed with hard hats and giant bow, and placed on display stands. After the sod-cutting takes place they can go back on the display. The ceremonial shovels on display create another perfect area for photographs of the event if you haven't designated a step and repeat location. Standing next to the groundbreaking shovels on display before the ceremony while the shovels are adorned with ribbons or bows and hard hats makes for a long lasting keepsake of the occasion. CeremonialSupplies.com offers the "Essential Groundbreaking Kit" that includes the ceremonial shovel, its stand, and a hard hat each.

Bringing your kid to stand beside you during a moment of pride and accomplishment is a wonderful way to add your own touch of tradition to your groundbreaking ceremony. Don't pass up the opportunity to create memories that become treasured family heirlooms! Preserve and display your ceremonial groundbreaking shovel in one of our display stands or cases and don't forget to include a plaque for all the high profile participants that will be making speeches at the event. CeremonialSupplies.com has all the products you need for an unforgettable groundbreaking ceremony - from the ceremonial shovels, groundbreaking kid shovels, to hard hats, ribbons, and plaques. All at budget friendly prices with prompt and efficient shipping everywhere in the world!

Why have a grand opening for your business?

Grand openings are quintessential to the success of any growing business. They allow for the attracting of customers that would potentially have never known that your business was even in the area. This rings especially true for large city centers like Atlanta where a new business could easily get lost amongst the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Imagine hundreds of people waiting outside your business for a chance to get in and take part in all your hard work! Getting customers to talk and create hype for your business is critical in your success. Not only will you get more customers, your reach will exponentially increase with the added factor of media coverage of your grand opening! Media outlets, radio stations, and more will relay to their consumers of your wondrous ceremony. As for the actual details of your opening, envision a beautiful, personalized ribbon strung between two shining stanchions, a crowd of excited attendees and finally, yourself, standing with the ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors ready to let in all of these potential customers. And just as important, a grand opening is an opportunity to set yourself on good terms with surrounding businesses.

The Walkway of the Gods

The red carpet, according to Greek mythology, was an honor reserved for the Gods of Olympus. Mere mortals, such as King Agamemnon, didn't fulfill the life expectancy he would have hope after setting foot on the "crimson path" laid out for him by his unfaithful wife. Nevertheless the red carpet treatment flourished over time and today stepping on to a red carpet is a symbol of glamour, wealth, and stardom! New York, where gods of fashion, art, architecture, film and theater, literature, science, and just about every profession and trade coexist with us mortals in our modern world, a university school graduation is the kind of event where a red carpet aisle runner isn't just a crimson pathway to a diploma, but an invitation for young gods to aspire to ultimate success.

Once a symbol of social status and seen mostly in renaissance art depictions of saints, gods and royalty, the notion that the red carpet made people feel special grew and we find it making a historical appearance in 1821 to welcome US President James Monroe ashore from a riverboat, and in 1902 used to direct first class ticket holders to board the exclusive express passenger train out of New York Central Railroad. Then came Hollywood and the red carpet, stanchions, and step and repeat banners took the world by storm. Today the honor of a walk on a plush, red carpet aisle is also notably given to high school graduating seniors and college and university graduates. Which brings us to the graduating classes of 2019!

The Red Carpet Aisle Runner Doesn't Have To Be Red

At CeremonialSupplies.com we have the best selection of deluxe, crafted, ceremonial aisle carpet runners in blue, green, pink, purple, black, and red.
