Groundbreaking Shovels and Missouri History in Dedication Speeches

The pattern of prosperity that establishes settlements of towns, cities, and countries begins with explorations. For a captivating sod-cutting event, combine elegant groundbreaking shovels and Missouri history in dedication speeches for a truly fascinating ceremony. Economic growth fuels the construction industry because more people obtain capital for new business endeavors, and established businesses expand and grow into new areas. This process is more sophisticated today than it was when French Jesuit missionary Father Jacques Marquette, and fur trader and explorer Louis Joliet set out in two canoes from St. Ignace, at the head of Lake Michigan in 1673 to find the direction and mouth of the Mississippi River. They couldn't have foreseen that 346 years later the area that includes the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri would become one of the most enterprising areas in the mid-west.

The voyage of Marquette and Joliet helped start the first settlements in the interior of North America, that were not already Native American settlements, and demonstrates that peaceful coexistence and trading flourished among Native Americans and the French Canadian. This reference shows that cooperation, an important value of any new enterprise, is crucial for the prosperity of communities, and makes as strong a statement in a first sod-cutting dedication speech as glossy, mirror finish, groundbreaking shovels do.

The history of the region goes back to 12,000 BC, and although the explorers did not discover the Mississippi river, they did confirm it was possible to travel by water from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Marquette and Joliet didn't reach the Gulf of Mexico though, and turned around near what is today Arkansas, because the territory south belonged to Spain and the explorers would have surely been captured, putting their fate and the exploration in peril. This reference is a strong support for the value of careful consideration in everything associated with a new business venture or enterprise, including the choice of products that will be used in the groundbreaking ceremony. For example, if the groundbreaking shovels will be preserved and displayed, consider purchasing a product that is actually worth preserving, and will not rust, fade, or stain.
