Each day seems to be getting hotter and hotter here in Lake and Sumter counties. The closer we move toward August, the higher the temperatures rise and that challenging humidity increases. If you have been looking for ways to keep cool, look no further. In this month’s issue, our cover feature is all about water. Our team has canvased Lake, Sumter, and the surrounding areas to help you cool down and beat the heat — and enjoy yourself in the meantime. There is one little girl who is more than willing to show you how to have fun: Peyton Ressler. You will see her making a splash on our cover. She had no problem figuring how to make the best of these hot, sunny days. Many of you may have seen our team canvasing Lake and Sumter counties for another reason, and I am excited to reveal to you just why in this month’s issue. For many years, we at Akers have been dedicated to educating and entertaining the residents of this community. We are constantly on the lookout for new ways to bring you positive, uplifting information while highlighting what is great about the counties we represent. We have been brainstorming this idea for many, many years, and now we feel ready to deliver it to you. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you “Style TV,” which will premier next month. “Style TV” is a 30-minute program that focuses on the people, places, and events
that make Central Florida a great place to live, work, and play. In many ways, it will represent our coveted Style Magazine. You will see our readers’ favorite articles come to life. For example, our “Social Style” will not only be available in print, but our correspondent, Tina Morrison, will be there to experience it with you in person and capture it all on video. This will allow us to offer you the full experience of what is happening in and around this community. We will also have special recipes and culinary ideas with “In the Kitchen,” but you never know where our kitchen will be. It could be outside, on the water, in a home, or at a restaurant; you will just have to watch to find out. We always have a lot going on here at Akers Media, and that is simply for one reason: we love what we do, and we love being here to entertain you, our faithful readers, and now our viewers. For more information about “Style TV,” read the article in this month’s issue on page 58. For a sneak peek of “Style TV,” visit our online magazine at LakeandSumterStyle.com. Until next month,
Kendra Akers
