Ceremonial groundbreaking shovels are Montana's newest stars. As if being the birth state of Gary Cooper and David Lynch wasn't enough, Big Sky Montana has one of the steadiest economies in the nation and continues to be an inviting place for those seeking a more untamed, wild, and natural environment to live. Montana is home to the hydrological apex of North America on Triple Divide Peak. From here, water flows to three oceans: Hudson Bay (Arctic), Gulf of Mexico (Atlantic), and the Pacific Ocean. It's northern neighbors are three Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, and 3% of Yellowstone National Park falls within its south western border with Wyoming. Montana's claims to fame are many, but the one we at CeremonialSupplies.com like the best is it's steadfast economy! Especially the healthcare and tourism industries because their exponential growth represents an enormous potential to impact other growing sectors! And you know what that means- more new, small businesses taking the first steps to becoming established big companies! These growing business sectors in Montana will have healthcare satellite offices opening up and holding grand opening events, or existing companies like Benefis Health System in Great Falls, St Patrick Hospital & Health in Missoula, Kalispell Regional Healthcare in Kalispell, and First Interstate BancSystems, Inc, in Billings, expanding into new locations and having groundbreaking ceremonies. We're all about groundbreaking ceremonies, grand openings, and all the best supplies and products available on the web for a spectacular landmark event in Big Sky Montana!
Montana's Mining and Groundbreaking Shovels History
Montana's history of mining gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and coal mining goes back 155 years when a prospector scooped up a bit of gold near Silver Bow Creek. The sensational news traveled quickly and in a short time hundreds of potential tycoons swarmed the banks of Silver Bow Creek. At first the mining was concentrated in Bannack and Virginia City but the growing number of miners spread out searching for new, virgin gold fields. But gold wasn't the only ore mined in Montana, as different geological areas produced different metals. Virginia City, Marysville, and Bannack is where most of the gold mining took place; Philipsburg was a silver and manganese mining town, and Butte mined copper - which became the wealth of Montana with the advent of electricity and its high demand for copper. The inevitable movement of people who followed the prospectors, were the banks, and though it's hard to say if groundbreaking shovels played a part in both groundbreakings and actual digging, we do know the area was considered the richest in America around 1917, and though the days when William Rockefeller benefitted from the 20.8 billion pounds of copper produced in Butte are long gone, they are not forgotten, at least not by the Mineral Museum or the World Museum of Mining, both in Butte. Montana's mining industry today supports over 12,500 permanent year-round jobs with an average annual earnings upwards of $85,000. Pretty good for an untamed and wild environment!
