Groundbreakings are symbolic celebrations of ritualistic origin and they can be organized in an unforgettable way when a strong, historical association can be made between the new business coming up, and the past. Connecticut is so rich with historical facts and events that a first sod-cutting occasion in the Constitution State is a natural for such an integration. CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to serve Connecticut by offering high quality and budget friendly priced products like groundbreaking shovels, stands, customized ribbon, hard hats, stanchions and many more, as well as ideas for a memorable first shoveling of dirt! Here are a few tips to take advantage of history when organizing a groundbreaking in Connecticut:

History Adds To The Present In A Groundbreaking Ceremony

Groundbreaking ceremonies take place everywhere but when new construction is set to break ground in a historical location, the connection with the past can bring alive surprising and interesting details that will add to the present. The history of Connecticut, which started as three separate settlements from Massachusetts and England in the 1660's is widespread throughout the State, with events that include the founding of the Colony of Connecticut in Hartford, the founding of Wethersfield, the drafting of the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, considered the first written constitution, the union of New Haven, the first road from New London to Norwich, the manufacturing of tin in Berlin, the establishment of the Connecticut Gazette which first printed the English Parliament law called the Stamp Act and became the first issue of serious contention between the colonies and England, the battle of New London and the capture by the British of Ft. Griswold, in all, some of the most important events of our country's early days took place in Connecticut. An example of how the past can come together with the present in a first sod-cutting in Connecticut is, for example, the opening of a franchise in the city of Lyme, or the city of Saybrook, both which are symbolic of growth and independence and hold a place in Connecticut's history as the first colony to be separated into two cities. In a groundbreaking ceremony where VIP's deliver speeches that make reference to the location's past and future, this connection with the past adds the right touch of symbolism.

Colors In Groundbreaking Shovels and Connecticut History

It may not sound important upon first consideration but combining a color theme for a first breaking of ground ceremony by using colorful blades on the groundbreaking shovel, the hard hats, ribbons and all other sod-cutting supplies you can make a strong statement of historical connection, especially in the Constitution State where so much history took place in the forming of the nation. For example, combining the azure blue of the Connecticut flag, or the lilac of the mountain laurel state flower, with the color of the groundbreaking shovel, hard hats and ribbons will give the occasion a strong sentiment of connection. Again, great for speeches!

Whether your goal is a small gathering with the local media or a lavish event of national attention, consider the possibilities when you combine the historical events and facts of Connecticut with your groundbreaking ceremony and supplies such as the groundbreaking shovels, hard hats, stands, and ribbons through the use of color and consecration speeches. Here at CeremonialSupplies.com we are committed to bringing to you the best quality products at budget friendly prices wherever you are in Connecticut to make your groundbreaking ceremony a meaningful and unforgettable event. Yes!

When it comes to historical locations and events, South Carolina is, not surprisingly, replete with museums and galleries dedicated to the history and culture of one of the original thirteen colonies, and for crowd management or crowd control solutions in South Carolina museums, your one stop shop on the web for high quality products, budget friendly prices, and exceptional customer service is CeremonialSupplies.com.

The Palmetto State has museums in every county! From Aiken, Anderson, Barnwell and Charleston to Greenville, Lancaster and Lexington, South Carolina is rich in cultural preservation and we at CeremonialSupplies.com carry every style of stanchions and rope to fit the decor and ambiance of any museum. Stanchions are also known as "barrier posts," "rope railings," or "queue line ropes" but they are upright, standing, slim, cylinder posts that can be connected with rope or a retractable belt, and these posts are used to designate a path to guide the flow of people. For example, the Bob Campbell Geology Museum located in Clemson University is a museum of rocks, minerals, fossils, meteorites, and everything dedicated to exploring Earth's history. The museum is in a rural setting and for such, our line of outdoor, weatherproof stanchions that resemble an old-fashioned hitching post, make for a decorative and functional crowd control solution. These posts are made from high density polyethylene and are rust proof. They can be used indoors or outdoors. They are light for easy transport and have a base that can be filled with sand or water for stabilization. In our website under the heading "Crowd Management" we offer a wide range of styles, materials, and colors designed to complement the decor and ambiance of various museum venues and provide a safe easy way to move a crowd in an organized way through small or large spaces.

Different Stanchion Styles To Complement Museum Decor

The American Military Museum in Charleston includes items from historical American conflicts from the Revolutionary War through the recent war in Iraq. A great choice of stanchion style for this museum would be the miniature black matte posts with retractable belts. These retractable belt stanchions serve to rope off valuable artifacts without interfering visually. The mini retractable belt stanchions are also the best choice for the Confederate Museum of Civil War memorabilia, also in Charleston, and the Florence Railroad Museum, in Florence. At CeremonialSupplies.com we offer mini stanchions in chrome, brass, and black matte, with a height of 24" and retractable belt that can extend up to 11'. These efficient stanchions protect an exhibit or display while saving floor space for better view and reduction of risk of damage to the display.

Our classic decorative stanchions and rope are chrome or brass plated, adding a taste of glamour to high-end events and exhibits. The top of the posts are available in the traditional, ball-like dome shape, urn style top, or flat top. The choice of rope for your classic stanchion depends on preference and the aesthetics of the event, with options including braided ropes, or velour, plush ropes. There are many possible combinations available to match a classic, chrome or brass stanchion with the traditional velvet rope, but the brass stanchion with red velvet rope continues to be the preferred style for Art museums such as the Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery in Greensville, the Columbia Museum of Art and the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, for matching the grand style of their art exhibits.

Efficient Crowd Control With Retractable Belt Stanchions

Retractable belt stanchions have a belt cassette feature that provides flexibility in arranging the queue with many combinations to manage the crowd in any form required. CeremonialSupplies.com offers 4-way retractable belt stanchions constructed from durable steel in matte finish, with a belt that extends up to 6.5'. These are available in black, royal blue, red, or grey. Retractable stanchions are the perfect solution for high traffic museums such as the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! in Myrtle Beach, or the Roper Mountain Science Center in Greenville. Retractable belt posts also come with sign frames, a two-sided, stainless steel chrome finish frame available in 3 sizes (7 x 11, 8.5 x 11, and 11 x 14). These are equipped with an attachment cup that easily locks into our 4-way stanchion adapter top. Perfect for exhibit descriptions or any other relevant information.

Sign frames for retractable stanchions allow for information, advertising, or simple messages to be communicated to a waiting line.

Economic development projects have migrated to Louisiana and in 2019, at least 50 new businesses are expected in downtown Baton Rouge alone. With mixed housing and commercial developments booming Louisiana and groundbreaking shovels are destined for pairing in 2019! And Ceremonialsupplies.com is the best place on the web to get everything you need for a successful groundbreaking ceremony in the festive Pelican State. Especially a sleek groundbreaking shovel, or two or three, depending on how many VIPs will be participating at the sod-cutting event. Our lush chrome groundbreaking shovels add elegance and style and make a wonderful photo area when dressed with hard hat and bow in their own stands while waiting to be used in the ceremony. Louisiana is teeming with historical and unique sites and it wouldn't be rare to find a groundbreaking ceremony taking place in or near one. Here's how to best incorporate a historical event into your groundbreaking ceremony anywhere in Louisiana.

Before it was an official city, New Orleans celebrated its first Mardi Gras in 1699 when explorers landed at the mouth of the Mississippi River on Fat Tuesday - a holiday observed by the French. The most popular cultural event in Louisiana and one of the top five in the nation, Mardi Gras, with its colorful green, purple, and gold hues provides a great theme for a groundbreaking ceremony in the Big Easy, and CeremonialSupplies.com can make it even more festive with our color groundbreaking shovel blades. Available in Mardi Gras green or purple, and other traditional colors like blue, red, orange, yellow, and pink, our color blade shovels can play up any theme color for your event. Cities in Louisiana like Shreveport, Bossier City, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Kenner, Slidell and others, have seen their share of historical events, but New Orleans is without a doubt the historical and cultural center, sometimes viewed synonymously with Louisiana. From its founding in 1718, the city's rich background offers limitless creative ideas for groundbreaking ceremonies, starting with decorative props for the ceremonial groundbreaking shovel(s) hard hats, groundbreaking kits, personalized ribbon, award plaques, and step and repeat banner with red carpet and stanchions!

Featuring Historical Events in Your Louisiana Groundbreaking Ceremony

For starters, Louisiana, and New Orleans in particular, were taken over at different times by France, Spain, and Great Britain before it was sold to the United State in the Louisiana Purchase. To the ever creative event planner, this means several color options you might find interesting for a theme! Yellow and Red, and Red, White, and Blue. Which coincidentally can be found in our color themed miniature groundbreaking shovels as well. These colorful, ceremonial shovels are 26" and perfect for children taking part in the sod-cutting ceremony.

The dawn of the Jazz Age in the late 1800s combining ragtime blues and African spiritual songs created the trademark staple of today's New Orleans and Louisiana music. A groundbreaking ceremony in Louisiana calls for the right kind of music background for a full experience. Football - and again the color purple, are entrenched in the Louisiana lifestyle. The purple color and fleur de lis icon of the New Orleans Saints is another theme that lends itself for a memorable groundbreaking ceremony in the Pelican State.

After Hurricane Katrina's path through Louisiana there's been an influx of outside opportunities that have brought development of other interests and industries to the State. In Shreveport, for example, there's a notable increase of art and antique galleries; healthcare companies such as the LHC Group and the Schumacher Clinical Partners have made a big bang in Lafayette; Amedisys and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana have added numerous job opportunities in Baton Rouge, and the continued growth of new businesses in Louisiana is poised for continued development. We at CeremonialSupplies.com are proud to be the best source of groundbreaking shovels in Louisiana. We have a variety of options of groundbreaking shovels that will elevate your event and impress your guests during your memorable occasion. All our shovels have stainless steel blades and range from the Standard chrome and wood D-style handle to the Deluxe with chrome blade and handle, to the top of the line mirrored chrome ceremonial shovel and the traditional, stainless steel blade and long stem. We also carry a variety of colored hard hats and groundbreaking kits that will help complete the sophisticated appearance you desire.

A groundbreaking is a great opportunity to promote your brand, especially in a festive place like Louisiana. Whether you are a Louisiana developer, architecture or construction firm, marketing agency, or a client having a new facility built for your organization, you can personalize your ceremonial shovels and hard hats in full color with your logo, or brand! Customization can be directly placed on the shovel blade or on an engraved plate attached on the stem. Whichever groundbreaking shovel you choose, and however you decide to personalize it, your shovel is a beautiful keepsake of a momentous occasion. You can preserve and exhibit your ceremonial shovel in one of our elegant display cases.

As the Bayou State's slogan eloquently expresses, be confident that you will “come as you are, and leave different” after purchasing our groundbreaking products for your sod-cutting ceremony—especially our ceremonial groundbreaking shovels that we so proudly ship everywhere in Louisiana and the world! Contact us here for a shipping quote.

Stanchions and rope are crowd control items that every hotel and museum should have, especially historical venues like the ones that abound in Connecticut, the Fifth State of the Union incorporated in January 9, 1788, one hundred twenty-five years after Thomas Hooker, founded Hartford in 1663. Connecticut is rich with events and places where the action and battles of the Colonial and Revolutionary periods took place. Gray Barns, for instance, located in a woody Norwalk neighborhood teeming with historic houses, began as a village meeting place, and later served as a stagecoach stop in the 17th century. Today the hotel is a boutique style country inn with nature's own Silvermine River on its backyard. Classical stanchions and rope fit the elegance and decor of this hotel, making their use both practical, and decorative, and making these the perfect style for Connecticut stanchions! The Mayflower Inn located in Washington, in Litchfield County, is one of America's most distinguished luxury hideaways, and again a setting where the classic style of barrier posts, with elegant velvet rope, blends with the graceful ambiance of traditional class and evokes the historical, old world charm of Colonial prestige. Locations of classic, architectural styles are precisely where the traditional stainless steel posts of either chrome, 4-way configuration, brass, or black matte offered by CeremonialSupplies.com under "Classic Stanchions" fit the bill perfectly and we've even created complete sets of your choice of stanchion and rope!

For everything crowd management, CeremonialSupplies.com is the best place on the web offering a one-stop-shop for any style of stanchions, barrier posts, and crowd control products designed with traditional architecture in mind, as well as with practical, modern emphasis. CeremonialSupplies.com offers a competitively priced selection of high quality choices of the most popular and decorative posts and ropes styles, along with many possible combinations to match a classic, brass or chrome barrier post with a matching rope. In a location such as Connecticut stanchions and rope in classic brass with ball top, and chrome urn top, or the sturdy plastic hitching post style with chain will blend in nicely with the historic elegance of five star hotels and museums found in Connecticut. The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, for example, or the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan, the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center in Ledyard, or the Hill-Stead Museum in Farmington, a colonial revival house designed by one of the first female architects in the country, and which features a collection of works by Monet, Degas and Whistler; for these grand homes turned museums stanchions and rope are a must to manage the flow of the guests within these homes that hold priceless treasures of art and history.

Efficient Crowd Control With Retractable Belt Stanchions

The belt cassette feature in the retractable belt stanchions offer an advantage over the traditional stanchion and rope by allowing flexibility in arranging a wait line in endless configurations to manage a crowd exactly as required. At CeremonialSupplies.com we offer 4-way retractable belt stanchions in durable steel in black matte finish with a belt that extends up to 6.5' available in black, royal blue, red, or grey. Retractable stanchions are the preferred choice of barrier posts for high traffic areas such as Bradley International Airport, Rentschler Field in East Hartford, the Connecticut Convention Center, Farmington Bank, or the Thomaston Opera House, built in 1884 and today service as a cultural and recreational center for surrounding communities like Litchfield, Harwinton, Waterbury, Watertown, and Morris. Thomaston was originally part of Plymouth, first settled by Henry Cook, and became known for clock making. For events where visibility is important, such as the Connecticut International Auto Show in Uncasville, the mini stanchions in chrome, brass, and black matte, with a height of 24" with belt, are ideal. The belt can extend up to 11' to provide an unobstructed view. Retractable belt stanchions are designed to protect an exhibit while saving floor space for better view, and reducing risk of damage to the display. There are also sign frames that are available for retractable stanchions. These are a two-sided, stainless steel chrome or black matte finish in 3 sizes (7 x 11, 8.5 x 11, and 11 x 14) that come equipped with an attachment cup to lock easily into our 4-way stanchion adapter top. Retractable belt stanchions are perfect for banks, government buildings, museums, themed parks and wherever a large crowd needs to be organized for optimal traffic flow.

Stanchions and Rope For Decorative Efficiency in High-End Hotels

What's in Indiana, you ask? Lots of museums for starters, and all of them amazing! Indiana is a bit on the reserved side, and its inhabitants are friendly and polite but when it comes to museums, the Hoosier State is tops. At CeremonialSupplies.com, we love to see our crowd management products in museums and thought we'd offer a breakdown of our top favorite Indiana museums where stanchions and rope add elegance and serve a purpose.

We love the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, mostly because it's free all year round and for art lovers that's a big deal. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum has three levels and over 120 cars ranging from classics to Indiana built cars. Some of the gallery's beauties include the 1908 Auburn Model G, which, interestingly enough instead of using low, mini stanchions and retractable belt, uses four low standing monument style corners and a yellow cord and seems like the kind of crowd barrier that wouldn't detract anyone from hopping on the front seat! Other favorites include the Planetarium and the Museum of Art at Ball State University, Muncie where again, admission is free and open to the public year round. Fairmount, the home of Indiana native and film idol James Dean, is home to the James Dean Gallery, an exhibit of everything James Dean including photos from childhood, yearbooks, and film posters from around the world. Stanchions are used throughout the gallery, including the flat top style stanchion and velvet rope surrounding the full scale model of the James Dean's bronze bust that's on display at the Griffith Observatory in LA.

Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis is a gem! The current exhibit, The Reel West, explores the American identity as was shown in Western films. Lots of props, film costumes, paintings, and memorabilia, many of which are protected with the use of stanchions and ropes and meant to be admired from a distance. The Studebaker National Museum in South Bend is a treasure trove of automobile history from horse-drawn wagons to the classics of the fifties and sixties. Perfect use of low standing 24" height mini stanchions with retractable black belts to protect the area surrounding this priceless collection without obstructing the view. Lincoln Pioneer Village and Museum in Rockport includes replicas of log cabins from Abraham Lincoln's years spent in Spencer County. Great use of crowd barriers with several different styles of stanchions and rope in the Old Pigeon Baptist Church replica! The use of stanchions and rope in this setting allows for visitors to get up close to the exhibits, maintaining a safe distance from one-of-a-kind historical items.

Franklin, Indiana is home to Johnson County Museum of History - which we loved! The exhibits trace the local history from geological beginnings to frontier days, up to mid-century. The crowd management tools we spotted here were the classic style golden brass with velvet red rope, used to close off entry into rooms undergoing renovations. And then there's the Joshua Tree Earth & Space Museum in Lakeville, an educational facility that houses one of the best collections of meteorites, fossils, giant crystals, and Indian artifacts. Crowd management barriers were used to section off displays of rare items, in this case full-size stanchions with retractable belt and post signs, were used for the job. Another museum dedicated to the history of Indiana is the Harrison County Discovery Center in Corydon, where interactive, high-tech galleries take you through a stroll of local history, including mysteries of Indiana's fascinating cave systems. From natural history to Civil War memorabilia, this museum uses crowd control barriers for special, room rental occasions, where the classical stanchions and rope are used to section off an area or room. One of our top favorites is the James Whitcomb Riley Boyhood Home and Museum in Greenfield. James Whitcomb, nicknamed "The Hoosier Poet" not just because he was born in Indiana, but also because of his poems celebrating the Hoosier State, such as "The Old Swimmin' Hole," was one of the most popular poets in America. Inside his boyhood home, the rooms still have the original furniture and each room has areas that are cordoned off with stanchions and rope.

All in all a visit to these wonderful museums really made us at CeremonialSupplies.com proud of what we bring to the floor! We have an entire section of just crowd management supplies that feature different styles of stanchions, and ropes that are used to flank a red carpet, designate an area, or to create a protective barrier, but these handy crowd management tools can also serve a dual purpose of decoration, especially to call attention to a specific item, having the ability to attach a post sign. Stanchions and rope are needed in museums and galleries, come to CeremonialSupplies.com, the best place on the web to get high quality items, at budget friendly prices, delivered wherever you are in Indiana - or the rest of the world! CONTACT US FOR SHIPPING QUOTE
