Groundbreaking Shovels That Live Up to Michigan's Big Standards

Michigan is known for BIG things! And CeremonialSupplies.com is the best place to find all the products you need for a big groundbreaking event, like groundbreaking shovels that live up to Michigan's big standards. The car capital of the world, "The Motor City" Detroit, is home to the largest number of automobile manufacturing plants, starting with "The Big Three" - Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler; it is the home of Lafarge - Alpena, the world's largest cement plant; and "Michigan Limestone," the largest limestone quarry in the world, located in Rogers City, Michigan, founded in 1910 and today owned by global conglomerate Carmeuse Natural Chemicals, are all among the best known big Michigan facts. Surrounded by beautiful (and big) lakes and picturesque parks, the natural beauty of the Great Lake State is only a part of its allure. City life in Michigan's biggest cities like Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Lansing drive the industrial and manufacturing population, but following close behind is Michigan's tourism industry which has introduced many new businesses, hotels, restaurants, and facilities that cater to the growing tourism industry of the State. Needless to say, sod-cutting ceremonies are on the rise and not just any groundbreaking shovel will do either. This is where CeremonialSupplies.com comes in with the most elegant groundbreaking shovels, perfect for top-notch luxurious ceremonies.

Whether breaking new ground on a small or large scale project, there appears to be a trend (which we love) in groundbreaking ceremonies. These can be quite beautiful and meaningful, especially in historical and progressive Michigan cities. Groundbreaking ceremonies are essentially architectural rituals that go back to ancient times and represent the consecration of ground for good and positive fortune during construction and after. The groundbreaking shovels are the most important elements of the ceremony, and there are other items involved in the presentation as well. These can make the difference between a groundbreaking ceremony and an unforgettable event. Imagine a tented area, decorated with streaming wide ribbons in the colors of the construction company, or the logo color of the project, flowing from the center of the tent out to the sides giving a draping effect that vitalizes the blank tent, and envision the guest chairs (regular folding chairs) dressed with simple covers and ribbons of the same color as the streamers. The area where the speakers will address the attendees has a step and repeat backdrop featuring the logos of all the companies involved in the project, with a color-coordinated carpet runner and stanchions and rope. This area is perfect for the official photographs and videos of the event, and also the best location to display the ceremonial shovels, all dressed with color coordinated hard hats and bows! At CeremonialSupplies.com you will be able to find the perfect ceremonial shovel for your event at budget friendly prices that won't break the bank. You can choose from the Standard Chromed Stainless Steel Groundbreaking Shovel, or the Deluxe Ceremonial Groundbreaking Chrome Head Shovel, both styles with a D-style handle which is preferred for groundbreaking ceremonies since it helps position the groundbreaking shovel perfectly for shifting dirt and displaying the printed logo. All of CeremonialSupplies.com groundbreaking shovels are 42" tall with a 9.5" width blade, made from stainless steel, and can be customized at the blade (shovel head), the stem, the handle, or all three.
