USG Alabaster hosted its annual Free Fishing Day this past weekend at the plant's retired quarry ponds. “This event has been a community favorite since we started it several years ago,” said Plant Manager Jon Blazic. "It’s a great opportunity for youngsters and families to experience a fun day in a unique location, and we enjoy hosting our neighbors in the community.” The ponds are a remnant of USG's historic gypsum quarries; the Alabaster quarry site was a foundational asset when the company was formed in 1902. Over the years, the fish arrived naturally and USG’s only effort to support the fishery was stocking minnows in 2021 to increase the forage base in the lakes. “[USG has] been proud to be part of this community for more than 120 years,” Blazic said. “Events like Free Fishing Day allow us to welcome our neighbors to see the property, discuss what we do here, and enjoy a summer day on the quarry ponds.” #ProudToBeUSG #FreeFishingDay

Puncture damage on a roof from hail or other factors can lead to more problems than a simple hole. Water intrusion can create conditions for mold growth within the interior of the roofing system and damaged insulation reduces its thermal resistance and effectiveness within the system. See how Securock® Brand Gypsum-Fiber Roof Board can be an integral component of your roof system, providing strength and protection from impact damage and increasing the resilience of the entire building. #USGBuildIt #Roofing #Securock Brand
