Summertime in Southwest Florida

Amy Bennett Williams

While the official first day of summer is just over a week away, the tell-tale signs of the summer season have already arrived in Southwest Florida. And while residents may lament the almost daily rain storms and oppressive humid heat, News-Press story teller Amy Bennett Williams relishes the sights and sounds of our subtropical summers from dramatic cloud formations to the cacophony of night-time critter sounds and the re-emergence of swallowtail kites in the skyline. She’s even offering listeners her own taste of summer while supplies last.  

Want a few Everglades tomato seeds? Just send Amy Bennett Williams an email to awilliams@news-press.com by June 20 and she’ll have them waiting at the front desk of The News-Press in an envelope with your name on it during regular business hours starting June 23. The News-Press is located at:  2442 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Fort Myers.
