Digging Oregon With Ceremonial Groundbreaking Shovels

There's so much to like about Oregon! As if the Columbia River gorge and its perfect windsurfing dunes weren't magical enough, the development and growth of the State is attracting more newcomers than ever before. Oregon's economic growth comes from several sectors, including the state's oldest industry: Logging. But relatively new companies like software specialist HawkSoft, and general contracting company Perlo Construction, and other independent companies, are experiencing a growth and expansion spurt indicating people are loving and digging Oregon with ceremonial groundbreaking shovels to commemorate and launch new, or more expanding locations! The fascination the Beaver State holds over investors looking for new ventures can be attributed to innumerable reasons. From its preferred coastal location as a shipping port, to its natural resource of dense forests that provide 1/10th of the country's timber, its supply of pure water and rich soil, and a rapidly growing tourism industry demanding hotels and hospitality, Oregonians can expect to see a boom in groundbreakings and first sod-cuttings as we get into the new decade. Here are a few ideas on how to include Oregon's special characteristics, for a first sod-cutting event in one of the most nature blessed states of the country! 

A First Sod-cutting Event Showcasing Oregon's Unique Features

Oregon is not a hugely populated state, but it's recent growth may be changing that! Cities like Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, and Hillsboro are the few with populations over 100,000 - but Beaverton and Bend are following so close behind they may soon join the ranks by this year's end. This growth represents more than just an influx of newcomers. It means many businesses will be opening their doors for the first time, or existing companies and corporations will be expanding and opening new locations to cater to the rapidly growing population, and we know, where there's this kind of growth, our groundbreaking shovels are going to be in hot demand!

The Beaver state has some of the most famous nature preserves, such as the Columbia River gorge and Crater Lake - the latter with the distinction of being the deepest body of water in the country, lying in the massive, bowl-shaped caldera of what was left of Mt. Mazama volcano, 1,943' to the bottom of its deep blue waters. These two natural treasures inspire decor colors and event themes as dramatic as the landscapes themselves - imagine the sun-drenched glimmer of golden sand dunes, and the royal blue of pristine waters and incorporate these colors into the overall decoration of any event, but most especially, in a groundbreaking ceremony, where the ground is essentially being dedicated! Other ways of attaching special meaning to these colors in a sod-cutting ceremony is by using colorful groundbreaking shovels with royal blue shovel head, a fiery golden orange color blade, or a shovel head in green, recalling the plush green landscape of Oregon's forests and farms. CeremonialSupplies.com has a hand-picked selection of groundbreaking shovels in 5 colors including blue, red, green, orange, pink, and yellow. Our colorful groundbreaking shovels are every bit as ceremonial as the traditional wood and stainless steel chrome groundbreaking shovels that have become our flagship. All of our groundbreaking shovels are full size (42" tall, with a 9.5" wide blade) and are available in the standard, D-style wood handle model with polished stainless steel chrome blade, the deluxe groundbreaking shovel with wood and metal D-style handle and polished chrome steel blade, the traditional wood groundbreaking shovel with long stem handle and polished chrome plated shovel head, or the shiny, mirror polished steel chrome blade with a wood and metal D-style handle of our VIP model. To make things easier, we also have ready to go groundbreaking kits that include a hard hat and shovel with dress-up bow, or kits that include the deluxe ceremonial shovel and hard hat, with a display stand that is normally used to display the shovel before and after it is used in the actual ground cutting. Also available are persentation cases for the ceremonial shovel, and the hard hat, when these will be given to a special member of the ceremony as a keepsake of the momentous occasion.
