Little Houses Could Mean Big Dollars for Builders 

Does the idea of living simply in a small space appeal to you? Are you interested in surrounding yourself with only the things you need? Would you like to reduce your utility costs? Do you like the idea of reducing your mortgage and lessening your debt? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider looking at a tiny house.

Can Immigration Ease Labor Shortages in Construction 

Whether it’s Brexit or Obama’s immigration plan deadlocking the United State’s Supreme Court, there has been no dodging the topic of immigration over the last month—and with this being an election year, immigration will most likely remain a trending topic for the next few months. Seemingly inescapable, the debate over immigration has finally come to the construction industry, an industry that is desperately short of skilled labor. Looking to fill holes in its workforce, one of the solutions some construction companies are considering is the use of the H-2B visa to bring temporary foreign workers to help fill the gaps. Like everywhere immigration is debated, this is proving to be a divisive topic with most taking a hard stance on either side.  

Why the WYO Rodeo is a Must-Attend Event

In 1931, the small town of Sheridan, Wyoming, was so quiet that according to local historians you could “shoot a shotgun down Main Street and have no fear of injuring anyone.” With the hopes of livening up the town, a group of citizens organized a rodeo to compete with the well-established professional rodeos, occurring in bigger, more bustling locations. It’s hard to believe that this July 11-17, the Sheridan WYO Rodeo will kick off for the 86th time - and Alliance Tire Group will be there to join the fun!

Uniquely American Foods to Serve this Fourth of July

Many of us will celebrate the original Thirteen Colonies claiming their independence from the British this Fourth of July by either hosting or attending a barbecue. We anticipate burgers, chicken, hot dogs, and sausages will be lining grills across the country, while barbecue goers enjoy other staples like pasta salad, fruit salad, and coleslaw. We love a barbecue as much as anyone, but this year we thought it would be fun to celebrate the country's independence along with some of the meats, fruits, and vegetables that are uniquely American.
