Whether a new business, church, or retail store, The Ponchatoula Chamber loves celebrating you by hosting a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. This is a great way for the new entity to gain excellent exposure through a press release and celebrate the accomplishment the opening of their doors makes.
Also open to the public, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is a great way for the community to be informed of the business structure and how their mission will serve the community.
