Winter Garden Vibes will include a local podcast and merchandise line dedicated to celebrating the city's special moments. 

"My family's roots in Winter Garden run deep, stretching back before the city's official founding," Chan said. "It's a privilege to raise my family here in a city as rich in beauty as it is in heritage. From the majestic trees to the historic buildings, not to mention the breathtaking sunsets, Winter Garden truly has it all. But what makes our city truly unparalleled is its community; a tapestry of remarkable individuals whose warmth and spirit are unmatched. It's this unique charm and camaraderie that inspired me to launch Winter Garden Vibes."

Through candid conversations with local residents, Chan will explore everything that makes Winter Garden a true treasure.

This will be done through the newest addition to the brand: a six-bar top trailer meticulously crafted by Sean Courtier of Extreme Golf Carts.

Chan said the innovative venture was made possible by presenting sponsor Empire Finish Systems with the support of Frank and Sal Ramos, as well as Iliana Ramos Jones.

"Their passion for our community is the driving force behind bringing these exciting experiences to life," Chan said. "Imagine the energy this trailer will bring to our events, creating the perfect backdrop for stories and memories."

Chan next is looking forward to the trailer's stop at SOBO Art Gallery's Arts in April Party, where the brand will offer an exclusive VIP hangout spot. 

Winter Garden Vibes sources its merchandise locally working with the help of A.B. Newton and Company to produce hats, T-shirts and stickers.

Those who wish to stay up to date on the latest happenings of Winter Garden Vibes should follow the brand on Instagram, join the Facebook group and subscribe to the newsletter. 

Chan is known for myriad local ventures, including the inception of We Are Winter Garden and the design of the Winter Garden App, as well as hosting community events, and capturing pictures and videos. 

"Thank you Winter Garden for your incredible love and support," Chan said. "Here's to creating unforgettable vibes and stories together."
