Ribbon Cuttings & Ground Breakings

Hosting a ribbon cutting or ground breaking is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your business with current and prospective clients, family members, and the community at large. We love celebrating with our members and are ready to bring the giant scissors or the golden shovels!

The Business' Role

Day of the Event

Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your business! Plan to give tours or demonstrations, distribute brochures, and have key employees on hand to answer questions about your organization.

Chamber staff will kick things off by welcoming attendees, explaining what we're here to celebrate, and introducing a designated person from your business to say a few words. Here you can highlight your specialties, promotional offerings, the history of your business, and/or why you're excited to be in Brookings.

After that, we'll stage a photo with the ribbon and scissors, count down from 3, cut the ribbon, and cheer!
