Pennsylvania seems to be blessed with an enormous energy advantage that gives the state an edge to compete economically, grow, with great paying jobs, and open the way for more, new businesses. New ventures in Pennsylvania mean more groundbreakings and grand openings and CeremonialSupplies.com is the best one-stop shop on the web to get everything you need for a first sod cutting ceremony, a grand opening, or a celebratory event worthy of the historical significance associated with Pennsylvania. Thanks to Pennsylvania's energy infrastructure Appalachia is seeing an energy renaissance with the petrochemical plant under construction by Royal Dutch Shell in Beaver County, as well as new manufacturing opportunities for clean natural gas to power modern life, and these developments make the area ripe for more construction and new businesses - something we love, because our business is about celebrating new businesses!

Essential Supplies For A Groundbreaking Ceremony In Pennsylvania

Seeped in history, Pennsylvania was the middle colony of the original thirteen, holding a key position in the economic, social, and political development of the country. Associated with our most cherished documents: The Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, both executed in Philadelphia, and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, even its nickname "Keystone" describes in architecture, a wedge-shaped stone in an arch that holds all the other stones in place. Pennsylvania's historical status is a great guidance platform with which to incorporate authentic and meaningful themes in a sod-cutting ceremony, and together with the essential supplies for a groundbreaking, get ready to join the ranks of previous achievers!

In Adams County, for example, where the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg took place, a typical groundbreaking ceremony can be themed in a historical manner. CeremonialSupplies.com is known to provide the best groundbreaking shovels for sod-cutting ceremonies, high quality, stainless steel chrome, mirror polished chrome, and color ceremonial shovels dressed up in red, white, and blue while on display create a staging for photos, and also add a touch of historical significance to the event. Likewise in Bedford County, where the Whiskey Rebellion took place after poor, frontier farmers were affected by a disproportionate tax levied on whiskey in the late 1700's. A groundbreaking event in Bradford County will garner additional interest by playing up the discovery of giant, human skeletons found near the borough of Sayre by using over-size, giant, 30" ceremonial scissors and 10" ribbon in a grand opening ceremony. Dauphin County is famous for Milton Hershey's chocolate factory, a grand opening, groundbreaking, or any other celebration in Hershey, Pennsylvania has many ways of incorporating the famous chocolate bar in everything from the laying of a cornerstone, to a school event! Carpet aisle runners and stanchions and rope bring a touch of elegance and class to a groundbreaking ceremony, and the Main Line region of suburban Philadelphia, famous for the grandiose homes in the neighborhoods of Villanova and Bryn Mawr is the kind of area where a red carpet and gold stanchions with velvet rope would be appropriate for a grand opening or a groundbreaking ceremony where a receiving line, or an entryway can be elegantly staged as a photo opportunity location.

Mixing essential groundbreaking supplies, like the ceremonial shovel(s) and their display stand or display case, hard hat(s), or grand opening supplies such as the ceremonial scissors, ribbon, red carpet, and crowd management items with the theme and colors associated with a historical location in Pennsylvania will certainly add the extra touch of elegance and grandeur that make an event stand out from the rest. Pretty much the same way Frank Lloyd Wright designed one of his most famous architectural works in the Steward Township's Bear Run waterway when he build the Kauffman Residence known as "Fallingwater," so can you incorporate historical and natural elements of the great state of Pennsylvania into a groundbreaking or grand opening ceremony. All you need to do is get your essential supplies from CeremonialSupplies.com, where you can rest assured of our high quality standards, our budget friendly pricing, our personable and knowledgeable customer service, and our prompt and efficient shipping to wherever you are in the Keystone State - from the Christmas tree capital of the world in Indiana, to Jefferson County's Punxsutawney and everywhere in between, CeremonialSupplies.com will get your groundbreaking and grand opening supplies to you! CONTACT US FOR SHIPPING QUOTE

Massachusetts is going big on groundbreaking supplies because the Bay State is enjoying an economic and building development boom. It isn't surprising. Always at the helm of progress, history, American culture and tradition are the backbone of Massachusetts, home of many pivotal "firsts" starting with Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies, founded in 1620 and 1630 by Pilgrims and Puritans respectively. Today, 400 years later, Millennium Partners will begin construction on Winthrop Square tower (named after puritan John Winthrop, founder of Massachusetts Bay Colony), a 52-story condo and office skyscraper, the 2nd tallest in Boston, across from Boston Common, the first public park in the country, founded in 1634. Bunker Hill will be seeing a revamp of its 13-block public housing complex in Charlestown and groundbreaking is set to start in the first half of 2019, and Developers Boston Properties and Delaware North are going forward with the construction on Phase II of what has been dubbed the "Hub on Causeway", which includes 1.5 million square feet of shops, restaurants, offices, hotel rooms, and residences. These are just 3 of 10 major constructions projects set to kick off this year in the Old Colony State and the reason why groundbreaking supplies have been in hot demand. From groundbreaking shovels, hard hats, and groundbreaking kits, to grand opening personalized ribbons, ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors, stanchions, red carpets and more, CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to be involved in the celebratory side of the building development boom in Massachusetts!

A Groundbreaking Ceremony In A Historical Location

Holding a groundbreaking ceremony in a historical location like Boston, or Plymouth is a big deal. Building and construction were sacred to the ancients, and it was important that a groundbreaking, or laying of the cornerstone ritual be followed ceremoniously because it was believed this would ensure protection during construction, and guarantee a successful integration of a structure for the betterment of a community. Breaking ground in historical settings like Boston, Lexington, or Salem for example, offers a unique and creative way for the companies involved to publicize the event.

When choosing the spot for the first sod-cutting, take a look at the surrounding area to determine the orientation setup of the ceremony. This is helpful when there are important, historical landmarks in the background that you'd like for the guests to notice, or for photos and videos. Next, you'll want the guests and attendees to feel comfortable during an outdoor activity that usually takes place during the day when people are wearing office attire. A tent would be ideal for this. Seats, tables, decorations, and food and refreshments can be organized, depending on budget, and the groundbreaking ceremony itself can take place within the tent. The ceremony involves speeches and dedications by local government officials, and representatives of the clergy as well as by the land owner, developer, architect, and others involved with the project. Notes of historical interest involving the location are part of the ceremony, and included in the dedications at the groundbreaking.

Kentucky has a reputation for being loyal to its humble origins. Tradition is a big part of the Bluegrass State's reputation and in today's tech-driven cyber environment, it's refreshing to know that ceremonial occasions stick to classic traditions. Groundbreakings, red carpet affairs that include stanchions and rope for Kentucky ceremonial events, and celebrations of special occasions, are all held with a deep sense of pride and methodology. Perhaps this is due to the two traditions that spawned Kentucky's leadership role in bourbon and horse racing.

Mostly colonized by Europeans, in particular those of Irish and Scottish descent, some of the first crops grown in Kentucky were barley, wheat, and corn; grains distilled by the Irish and Scots, and hence the popularity of bourbon in the state. Once home to hundreds of bourbon distillers, now there are only seven major houses. Buffalo Trace, producers of Blanton's, located in Frankfort; Four Roses, in Lawrenceburg; Heaven Hill, producer of Evan William, the second largest selling bourbon in the US and the world, with warehouses in Bardstown, Deatsville, and Louisville; Jim Beam, producers of the No. 1 selling bourbon in the world is located in Clermont, and Maker's Mark distillery in Loretto; Brown-Forman, maker's of Woodford Reserve, out of Versailles; Wild Turkey, in Anderson County and Camp Nelson; and Town Branch, near Lexington's Town Branch stream. The whiskey produced in Kentucky had to be stamped with the county of origin when exported to other areas in the US and Canada. In this case the stamp on the barrels read: "Bourbon County," and people began to ask for "that Bourbon" whisky. These barrels were taken by river barges into West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and then the swift return to the distillery was done on horseback. In time, this lead to the breeding of the fastest horses to make the return trip as quick as possible, perfecting this with the breeding of thoroughbreds, which is why Kentucky's bourbon and horses are considered the best in the world.

Kicking Off A Kentucky Grand Opening With Red Carpet And Stanchions

Much like Kentucky perfected whiskey and horse breeding, so has the Bluegrass State set the standard for traditional, ceremonial events such as grand openings, and groundbreaking ceremonies. Kicking off a Kentucky grand opening with red carpet and stanchions, personalized ribbon, giant ceremonial scissors, and a photo section with a step and repeat banner is the kind of grooming that raise these events to Kentuckian standards.

Stanchions and rope serve more purposes than as posts and barriers or crowd control. In a grand opening event, the stanchions are used to hold the ceremonial ribbon - ideally, a customized, wide size ribbon of 6" or more. CeremonialSupplies.com has a variety of stanchions of different styles and fabrication. The sturdy, weighted plastic stanchions are perfect for casual occasions performed outdoors, in the sand, a park, etc., These come in black, white, and yellow with matching chain link. We also offer stanchions with retractable belts and optional signage where a message, or text can be inserted. The signs can have creative messages for guests waiting to enter the grand opening, or as they make their way through the food or drinks line flanked by these barrier posts. The classic, shiny gold finished brass stanchions, or the stainless steel polished chrome stanchions come alive with rich, plush, velvet ropes and they make a grand opening feel as glamorous as if entering Churchill Downs, Turf Club Roses Lounge on Derby day!

Stanchions At A Groundbreaking Ceremony

A proper sod-cutting event will have an official photo area. This is usually set up with a step and repeat banner, and preferably sectioned off with a barrier such as stanchions and rope. In front of the step and repeat should be a red carpet (or other color to suit the decor or a company color theme), and separating the area from the rest of the space should be stanchions and rope. This not only maintains a steady flow of people as they prepare to have their photo taken, but it also encourages guests to remain in the general area behind the stanchions, watching other guests enter. In Kentucky, people watching calls for a refreshing libation like a Mint Julep!

Whether you are looking for cost effective, weather proof stanchions manufactured from sturdy and weighted plastic, or retractable belt and message signs movie theater style stanchions, or classic, shiny gold finished brass or polished chrome, CeremonialSupplies.com is the best place on the web to find the right crowd management option for your groundbreaking ceremony or grand opening event. Go to our website or call us 1-877-373-4273! Our personable and knowledgeable customer service staff is always happy to answer any questions! And the best thing?

We can't imagine why they shouldn't be! CeremonialSupplies.com is offering color groundbreaking shovels and we think making yellow groundbreaking shovels popular in the Yellowhammer State is a given. No secret that Alabama has been in the radar of high-profile, high-profit manufacturers, and becoming home to manufacturing giants like Toyota, Remington (as in the rifle), Polaris Industries (makers of snowmobiles) both in Huntsville; Airbus factory in Mobile, and high-tech tactical armament system manufacturer, Aerojet Rocketdyne, also in Huntsville, development and economic growth in Alabama is in boom mode! We love to hear this kind of news because where there's economic growth there are sure to be new businesses breaking ground for the first time, and CeremonialSupplies.com is the chief supplier of crafted quality, budget price ceremonial groundbreaking shovels, now, with color too!

Yellow Groundbreaking Shovels Add Honor To An Alabama Sod-cutting Ceremony

Alabama's State bird is the Yellowhammer, which is the main reason why the state has the nickname, but there's also a tale that during the Civil War, young, Alabama soldiers in Confederate uniform of grey and yellow were seen marching from Huntsville to Hopkinsville, KY to join General Forrest's troops and the nickname was applied to the young men. Today the nickname "yellowhammer" carries with it the dignity of brave and youthful idealism. For a sod-cutting ceremony, which is a meaningful and purposeful occasion anywhere, in Alabama, the yellow and silver groundbreaking shovels seem paired just right since the colors honor the State.

CeremonialSupplies.com has a full spectrum of color groundbreaking ceremonial shovels, including white, black, red, green, blue, orange, pink, and yellow. They are made with the same crafted care as all our groundbreaking shovels, except the color shovels expand a logo or company brand statement, with matching color on the ceremonial items of the occasion. The colored shovel head can be customized with company logo or text. The stem can be personalized with an engraving plate, and also the handle. Matching a yellow groundbreaking ceremonial shovel, with yellow hard hat, and ribbons and bows, for a sod-cutting ceremony of a public building in Alabama would be an example of an ideal color match extension that grabs not just the public's attention, but that of future generations through photos and videos.

Traditional Groundbreaking Shovels Have Classic Style

The mirror polished chrome groundbreaking shovel with the D-style handle is a popular item for a ground cutting ceremony. The long stem shovel is the traditional style that is actually used in construction, and many businesses want to stay as true as possible to the real deal during the symbolic ceremony. Whatever your style preference, whether it's a color blade, a mirror polished blade with D-style handle, or a long stem with polished chrome blade, CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect groundbreaking shovel and display case or shovel stand, for your ceremony. Our prices are budget friendly and our customer service staff is personable and knowledgeable. We ship everywhere in Alabama, from Huntsville in the north, to Birmingham, historic Tuscaloosa, Montgomery, Columbus, and Mobile, promptly and efficiently!

You've seen them as you approach the entrance to an exclusive restaurant or club in Fisher Island, or The Villa, Gianni Versace's mansion turned restaurant in Miami Beach. Palme d'Or at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables has them with plush, red velvet rope. Stanchions are a big hit in glamorous Florida establishments. We don't take notice of these barrier posts and crowd management tools (as they are sometimes called), unless we're standing next to them for a photograph. If they fit the decor and ambiance, we still won't notice them but if we're wearing formal and standing next to a white, plastic stanchion with chain link, we'll notice. In Florida, stanchions of every style and color can be seen even during a casual stroll on Ocean Drive in South Beach, or Las Olas Boulevard in Hollywood. They can be classic, gold brass with velvet rope, or more casual, such as our weighted, sturdy plastic color example, and they can also have signs that will provide information to people waiting in line, and stanchions can be equipped with retractable belts. So my choices! Which style of stanchion is right for your locale, special event, or grand opening occasion? CeremonialSupplies.com is the best, one stop shop on the web to get crafted, quality stanchions that are priced budget friendly, and will ship to you promptly and efficiently wherever you are in The Sunshine State! (and everywhere else!)

Stanchions As A Permanent Fixture Or A One Time Special Occasion

It seems every lounge, club, restaurant and gathering spot in Florida has stanchions of some form or another either at the entrance, or to designate a VIP area or exclusive seating. From the grand opening event when the stanchions were first used to hold the ribbon for the ribbon cutting ceremony, to sectioning off a special guest area, businesses, especially food and drinks, find they have a need for stanchions on a permanent basis. The "Gone But Not Forgotten" gilded skeleton of the woolly mammoth installed on the shoreline entrance of the grandiose Faena Hotel in Miami's South Beach has permanent, weather proofed barrier posts and chain link around it. It's an outside sculpture plated in 24K gold, within a glass cage. St. Augustine's San Sebastian Winery has a rooftop cellar offering finger foods to accompany their selection of wines, and the entrance on the floor below has a pair of chrome stanchions with rope that close off the stairway when the rooftop is closed. All these permanent uses for stanchions are evidence that these items are not just for a one time special use during a grand opening ceremony, but will serve in a variety of functions that make crowd barrier posts or posts and rope - as stanchions are sometimes called, an item that serves many purposes, from holding the ribbon at the grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony, to holding off the curious.

CeremonialSupplies.com has a wide selection of stanchions and rope under the category heading of "Crowd Management" where you will find exactly the perfect stanchion to frame a red carpet entrance, hold a ceremonial ribbon, and to create a barrier as needed. There are many uses for these posts after the initial grand opening! Shop for them at CeremonialSupplies.com and you will get high quality at a budget price, personable and knowledgeable customer service, and shipping everywhere in Florida, or wherever you are!

Why is the elegance of stanchions and rope always in demand in South Florida? It could have something to do with the Sunshine State's leading industry: Tourism. Tourism in Florida translates to more, bigger, luxurious hotels, unique, international restaurants, trendy clubs, lots of shopping, and special events. These economy churning businesses must stay relevant or lose to newer activities that pop in and out of Florida's Gold Coast cities such as Daytona, Hollywood, and Miami Beach. The art scene born with Art Basel's 2002 premiere in Miami Beach and followed by a phenomenal record openings of art galleries and showrooms throughout South Florida have now put the Sunshine State on the map as an art collector's Mecca, and has inspired dedication to uplift culture through art in an otherwise just sandy and sunny paradise. Stanchions and rope is about a lot more than barriers for crowd control, or crowd management; after all, you can guide people with signs, or a red carpet. There's something refined and regal about incorporating stanchions and ropes in a grand opening event, or a premiere, and here's CeremonialSupplies.com take on why these crowd control posts as they are commonly known, have become an essential part of any grand opening event.

Stanchions and Rope: From Crowd Control Posts To Decorative Statement

Disneyworld Orlando is an expert at crowd control. Moving thousands of people at a steady pace by creating a maze of retractable belt stanchions to enter any of the famous theme park's attractions, is a perfect example of how these crowd control posts are used in their maximum capacity. Nikki Beach club is a day and night affair and this South Beach hot spot has the kind of open beach atmosphere where weighted white or yellow barrier posts and chain link fit the bill. These styles of stanchions and rope are effective for crowd control and crowd barriers, but, would retractable belt posts or yellow stanchion and chain link, match the ambiance in the magnificent setting of Miami's iconic palace, Villa Vizcaya, protecting its valuable antiquities? A visit to the baroque-style estate once home of businessman James Deering, will show the functionality of retractable crowd control posts could work as crowd barriers, but it would detract from the regal setting! In a museum like Vizcaya, the use of polished gold brass or chrome stanchions, with velvet ropes is the adequate way to place crowd barriers around antique furniture and heirlooms, vintage elements such as glass windows, tapestries, and one of a kind items. CeremonialSupplies.com is the best place on the web for these, and more styles of crowd control! We make it easy, economical, and effective. See our many different styles of stanchions and rope under our heading "crowd management" and choose from plastic, sturdy, no rust and no fade stanchions perfectly weighted and retractable belt, to color posts with plastic barrier chain link, or stainless steel polished chrome or brass and velvet rope. All budget friendly priced and shipped everywhere in the Sunshine State from the northern city of St. Augustine, to the panhandle towns of Panama City, Tallahassee and central Florida Lakeland, Hanes, through Tampa, Naples, and the South Florida cities of Boca Raton and West Palm Beach down to Key West - if you're in Florida, you're not just tanned, you're in luck! CeremonialSupplies.com has the stanchions and rope that will fit your exact need.

Creating Style With Stanchions and Rope

Whether it's to restrict entrance of clubs Story or LIV in Miami Beach to non flip flop wearers, rope off Tutankhamen's chair at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Ft. Lauderdale, or create a photo op at your grand opening event, you can do it with style when you use the classic, CeremonialSupplies.com stainless steel brass or chrome polished stanchions and sumptuous velvet ropes in red, blue, or black. These crowd barriers and posts serve as much to add glamour to the overall decor as they do to protect items or control crowd movement. We often suggest to event planners that an official photo-op area in any event, a grand opening, a groundbreaking ceremony, a corporate function, or any special occasion, will be a sure way to pace the flow of people into the function, and provide a valued memento of their attendance. A photo area can be easily set up with a step and repeat banner, a 15' red carpet, and gold brass stanchions and red velour rope. Not only do the stanchions and rope separate a portion of the main area for a specific purpose, but it invites other event goers to participate as people-watchers!

CeremonialSupplies.com takes pride in our top of the line quality products, and when it comes to stanchions and rope, our crowd management items are designed for every taste and necessity. When you've got a crowd of ticket holders waiting to ride the Amtrak from Miami to Jacksonville, the sturdy, plastic posts and retractable belt will work best, but for grand openings, balls, art galleries and premieres call for the classic, polished brass and chrome barrier posts. Come to CeremonialSupplies.com and take your pick - we will get it to you, wherever you are in Florida!

The big apple is indeed big! In everything it does. Whether it's the Metropolitan Opera, A Giant's game, or Fashion Week, the essentials for a NYC grand opening are usually over the top when it comes to sophistication and style. The shopping ground of celebrities and personalities, Manhattan sees more than a fair share of grand openings and now the movement has spread to nearby Brooklyn, Bronx, and Queens. If your business or shop is going to be based in NYC, you want to make a proper first impression and to do that, a grand opening celebration is the best way to establish yourself in the community. Considering NYC is a metropolitan Mecca of high standards, CeremonialSupplies.com is the best place on the web to find grand opening supplies, including the essentials for a NYC grand opening. Here's what you'll be needing:

Planning A NYC Grand Opening Event

Whether you reach out to the media electronically or via a live minstrel messenger, prepare a media list. Do a bit of foot on the ground research and pick up copies of local papers, newsletters, magazines, any publication that is local, and relevant, and create a spreadsheet with names, phone numbers and email addresses. You will need this first, for your press release diffusion and second, to invite to the event. Review the calendar events for the time when you wish to celebrate your NYC grand opening event and see what else is happening? Believe it or not, more important than a date convenient for you, is a date convenient for your target market. Choosing a date in autumn or winter for a grand opening event in NYC may require a little extra work, but in the spring or summer months everyone will want to enjoy the sunshine at outdoor events and remember, the Sun always wins.

Prepare a guest list and reach out to local officials like the Mayor, Commissioners, Congress Representatives, Police Chief, Fire Chief, School Principals, or School Board Superintendent - and include high-profile personalities that you know personally. Remember, the media follows local officials and celebrities. Have a special commemorative plaque, award, or a similar celebration acknowledgment that you will present to the guest of honor - the Mayor, for instance. If there are several VIPs you wish to recognize, please do, goodwill goes a long way toward advertisement. Advertise! A grand event should have a budget for advertisement in your local papers. This is where your media list comes in handy. It is up to you to choose the magazine or paper where you will get the most eyeballs and relevancy, and these aren't necessarily the media people you enjoy the most. Budget where there's benefit.

What Will You Need For A NYC Shop Grand Opening Ceremony?

Signs, signs, everywhere signs! If you got some signs in the local paper, kudos to you! If you contacted city officials and asked about street pole signs, double kudos, and if you actually got pole signs at least around your neighborhood then you are on top of your game. In addition to neighborhood signs, you should have giant 'Grand Opening' signs at the front of your location, or wherever they are most visible for passers-by. One or two grand opening signs inside the location, behind the counter, will remind guests at all times that this is a special occasion. Most grand openings have a ribbon cutting ceremony. A 6" wide ribbon is perfect for personalizing with a logo, a date, a special message, or all three, and it's an ideal width for a front shop area, but if you really want to optimize residual advertisement, an 8" to 10" ribbon will grab visual attention through photographs and videos, especially if the news media will be in attendance. Wide, personalized ribbons can also be used as part of the decorations by draping different widths and matching colors from the ceiling. These personalized ribbons can become take-home souvenirs for the guests and attendees. CeremonialSupplies.com carries a beautiful spectrum of ribbon colors, in varying widths and all with customization options to make your NYC grand opening a grand event! And when it comes to the ceremonial ribbon cutting scissors, we've got color handles, choice of silver or gold color steel blades, and giant 25" - 30" ribbon cutting scissors that are quite sharp and actually do, cut the ribbon! CeremonialSupplies.com also has keepsake cases that protect and preserve the ceremonial items for displaying in an office, home, or business conference area.

Red carpet aisle runners and stanchions and rope aren't just for movie premieres anymore. There's nothing that oozes sophistication more than a red carpet grand opening! Getting celebrities and local officials to attend is wonderful, and when your planning is smooth, you'll definitely get some high-profile personalities, but there's nothing like making every guest feel like a star! A red carpet entrance, sectioned off with stanchions and rope will give your NYC grand opening an air of refinement and elegance. Creating an area for official photographs, with a step and repeat banner, will add glamour to the grand opening and provide organic advertisement through photographs and videos.

Get Your Grand Opening Supplies On Time!

When you first thought of your NYC grand opening you envisioned large, personalized ribbons draping down from the ceiling, and a step and repeat banner and red carpet with stanchions and rope worthy of a Radio City Hall function. But you got caught up in sorting out the food and the entertainment and you finally set some time aside to search the web for suppliers two weeks before the event! Oh no!

Groundbreaking Ceremonies In Historical New Jersey

From Hoboken's American Legion groundbreaking ceremony to the River Parc at Port Imperial, Jersey City's tower at 110 First Street, to Stonegate and Broadway and the uber-famous 99 Hudson tower - when completed, the tallest building in NJ; new structures and buildings seem to be breaking ground faster than ever and groundbreaking ceremonies in historical New Jersey are imbuing colonial traditions with a modern twist! Here are some historical facts for consideration when planning a ground cutting event in New Jersey:

It's impossible to find a spot in the Garden State that doesn't have an event of historical significance attached to it. New Jersey, one of the original 13 colonies of pre-revolutionary times has a rich history. For an event planner, this is a golden opportunity to tie the theme of an event, let's say, a groundbreaking ceremony or a grand opening, with historical facts of the location where these events will take place. For instance, there were 296 battles (including the decisive battles of Trenton and Princeton) fought in New Jersey between the British and the Continental Army in the 1770's. Playing up the history of an event's location, especially first sod cutting ceremonies, contributes creatively toward theme development. Noteworthy personalities and their New Jersey birth towns is another way to work certain elements into your event. Some Garden State famous were President Grover Cleveland born in Caldwell, authors Walt Whitman in West Hills, and James Fenimore Cooper of Burlington, bandleader William Count Basie of Red Bank, Fran Sinatra of Hoboken, astronaut Buzz Aldrin from Montclair, and comedian Jerry Lewis and founding father and 3rd Vice President of the US, Aaron Burr, both from Newark - Aaron Burr and first US Secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton fought the famous duel in New Jersey, in an area known as the heights of Weehawken, below the New Jersey Palisades cliffs. As you see, there are plenty of historical anecdotes to blend into the theme of a traditional ceremony like a groundbreaking.

Selecting The Groundbreaking Shovels To Fit Your Event

The ceremonial groundbreaking shovel is the star of all first sod-cutting ceremonies. Selecting the groundbreaking shovel to fit your event is an important decision. CeremonialSupplies.com offers a selection of stainless steel groundbreaking shovels designed for ceremonies. Ceremonial groundbreaking shovels have a D-style handle, and although they can in fact shove dirt, the handle is more conveniently used for photo staging. Chrome polished and chromed mirror polish are additional options available with D-style handle groundbreaking shovels. For a more traditional ceremonial shovel there's the long stem chrome blade, which doesn't have a handle becasue it can actually be used in shoveling work. Other groundbreaking shovels available from CeremonialSupplies.com are the color ceremonial shovels with blades in red, blue, green, white, yellow, orange, and pink. Our stainless steel chrome groundbreaking shovels as well as the color ceremonial groundbreaking shovels can be elegantly customized at the blade, the stem, or the handle, or on all three depending on the client's wishes. A first sod-cutting ceremony is a momentous event, and the ceremonial groundbreaking shovel, or shovels, depending on how many people will take part in the ceremony, is an item that should be kept for posterity.
