Hargrove, a nationally renowned general contractor that produces tradeshows, events and custom exhibits, set the scene on Jan. 19 when New Jersey Governor-elect Chris Christie takes the stage at the War Memorial in Trenton, NJ commemorating his inauguration as the state’s 55th governor. Hargrove was selected by CatalystETC, the events producer, to design and install the stage backdrop and set décor for the noon swearing in of Governor-elect Christie and Lieutenant Governor-elect Kim Guadagno.
Hargrove transformed the War Memorial stage into a patriotic celebration featuring a large star-bedecked banner center stage with the words “Pride, Service, Community” supporting the 2010 gubernatorial theme of “Rebuilding New Jersey Together; Pride Through Service and Community.” The center banner was flanked left and right with large U.S. and New Jersey flags against backdrops of blue topped with gold cornices. The stage, which sat more than 100 guests, also featured 21 flags representing the 21 counties in the state of New Jersey.
“Pride has been a major theme for Governor-elect Christie throughout his campaign,” said Tim McGill, Hargrove CEO. “We at Hargrove are proud to have been selected to play a part in such an important event and wish him well throughout his upcoming term.”
