LECANTO - Summer Wyllie has two cows, 20 chickens and two turkeys. She has made two CDs of her piano music; one CD contains her own compositions.
Summer is a first-place science fair winner and was part of an Envirothon team that won first place twice for Citrus County. She is a state VFW essay contest winner and was a Duke University-sponsored Talent Identification Program (TIP) grand winner.
Summer recently decided it would be fun to keep bees. She has been at that for about a month and figures she has been stung about 12 times.
She is also done with all her required high school course work and is taking dual enrollment classes at Central Florida Community College.
