The first event in 2018 was in January. TREND45 was now a year old, going from Michigan to throughout the Midwest. Remy Lewbel laid his next event up north Michigan, far away in a small town called Glen Arbor. Lewbel would spend summers and winters at the Homestead Resort with his family. Lewbel wanted to relive those memories with his new business. “Midwinter Manor was a difficult event to plan. It was the dead of winter, everything was closed, almost every hotel and Airbnb for miles would be closed for the season. I remember begging hotels to open for the weekend and saying that we would rent the whole place out” (Lewbel, Remy. Kalamazoo Media. 20 March 2018). Lewbel and his team would experience one of the worst winter storms to come through Michigan, the night before the event. Roads shut down, highways were closed, and many guests could not arrive at the event. Practical guests would leave a day before the storm, and Lewbel begged the hotels to open up to allow their guests to stay the day before. They opened their doors. Lewbel arrived to view one of the most beautiful views of a snowy Lake Michigan. “God gave us more than light. He brought everyone who drove to the event safely and gave us a backdrop photoshop couldn’t create” (Lewbel, Remy. Kalamazoo Media. 20 March 2018). TREND45 would now begin to start seeing the jealously of its success rage throughout the creative community. The community that Lewbel would celebrate turned its back on him. More and more community directors would ban Lewbel from engagement groups and Facebook groups. “It became hard to advertise on other platforms because we would be shut down every post. This happened because people were catching on to this idea and trying to unsuccessfully copy it for themselves. If it was hate or jealously, shit never bothered me. I just kept moving forward” (Lewbel, Remy. Kalamazoo Media. 20 March 2018).
