Groupies Get Away

We've all had a summer we can't forget, with memories that we'll always love. Today, on the first day of summer, the groupies are getting a little nostalgic and have been remembering their favorite summer vacations. We've got the lineup of everyone's fun, crazy, and adventurous summer memories. 



AnnaLee: "Some of my favorite summer memories are those where my husband and I go snake hunting. And by snake hunting, I mean snake/reptile collecting of photography. Every once in a while we're lucky enough to see a horny toad.  They are awesome."



Pam: "I have two recent summer vacation memories. This first picture is of my sister, niece, and I on a family reunion trip to California that included a trip in a limo to Napa Valley with a chauffeur named James Bond."



Pam: "The second was of my Mom, sister, and I on a fabulous cruise through New England last summer."



Natalia: "When I was a kid, we would go with all of my dads family to Possum Kingdom every summer. I still remember the thousand steps it took to get to the dock, the bunk beds that lined the cabin and playing board games every night."



Mike: "Here's a selfie of me and Crystal sitting in Christopher Columbus Park in Boston. We drove 5,000 miles round trip and camped (yes, in a tent) the whole way... it was an absolute blast."

I got to spend 2015 working and traveling in the UK. This is a particular trip to the coast of Howth, Ireland (near Dublin) when I got to go on holiday with two other interns. It was for mine and the girl on the rights birthdays. Yeah.. it was the middle of June and we were all wearing jeans and long sleeves! Greatest experience of my life!

Meet Linc! The dog, the mascot, the legend.

He makes an appearance at all Price Group functions, greets everyone in our lobby, brings joy to many, but how much do you know about our squirrel loving mascot? We learned all about his job, name, and favorite things in this exclusive interview.

Q. So tell us how you got your name?

A.  Linc is short for Lincoln. It’s a vague reference to Honest Abe Lincoln.

Q. How did you get your job at the Price Group?

A. I was literally born for this job. The Price Group did a marketing campaign during the last presidential election season called “Vote TPG.” They needed a mascot—something better than a donkey or an elephant—so they came up with a loyal retriever as their mascot that fetches results. Then Mike Meister got the crazy idea that they needed a real-life version of their Linc logo for events, so he and his wife, Crystal, made me.

Q. What’s your job?

A. I greet people when they come into our office, I chase away pesky rodents, but mostly I fetch results.

Q. What is your favorite food?

A. Peanut Butter Cups and ADDY Awards. I mean, I don’t actually eat the awards, but I certainly thrive on them!

Q. What is your favorite possession?

A. My Snoop Dogg anthology

Q. What do you wish you could do that you can’t because you’re a dog?

A. I’m Linc … I can do anything! Just check out our website and you’ll see that I have traveled extensively. I’m not your typical dog (just look at me) so I'm not limited like my canine cousins. The world is my hydrant!

Q. What do you do in your free time? 

A. There is no free time for a results-fetcher and pest-chaser. I’m on duty and on call 24/7/365. That’s not to say that I haven’t gotten to do fun stuff for work: travel, photo shoots, trade shows. It’s a good gig.

Q. What is a quote that describes you?

A. “Whatever you are, be a good one.” — Abraham Lincoln

Q. How would you describe yourself?

A. Good-looking, but with a little grey in the hair and stiffness in the joints. Totally loyal. Up for just about anything. Steadfast.

Q. Tell us about your look. (Colors, stars, etc.)

A. It’s a unique combination of Americana and Groupiness. How many dogs do you know with stars for birthmarks? My portraits often show an unusual color shift—sometimes yellow, red, aqua or blue. So I’m sort of like a chameleon. Pretty cool.

Q. Where do you want to one day travel?

A. I’ve heard all dogs go to Heaven, so that must be quite the destination. Maybe when I retire….

Q. Can you describe yourself in three words?

A. Loyal. Focused. Squirrel!
