Traverse City native Montanna Brumfield competes for $25,000 on Food Network

TRAVERSE CITY — Chef Montanna Brumfield, a Traverse City native, is bringing Northern Michigan flavor to the national stage as a contestant on Season 13 of the Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship.” Brumfield is competing against fellow bakers for a $25,000 cash prize on the pre-recorded competition season currently airing. Brumfield studied culinary arts at Northwestern Michigan College and now owns Sirene Noowar, a business in Palm Coast, Fla., offering luxury culinary experiences. Her passion for cooking began in early childhood long before she pursued formal training in her hometown. Growing up in Traverse City, Brumfield developed an early connection to local traditions, recalling that she made her mother a champagne lobster dinner at 5 years old. “So growing up in traverse, literally born and raised I mean, what’s not to love about growing up in Traverse City?” Brumfield said. “The summers, all you smell is bonfire in the air, s’mores, cherry buds. I was a cherry Festival princess back in my day.” Brumfield moved to Florida during her sophomore year of high school but returned to Michigan after graduation to study culinary arts. “That’s when I really got my footing, into the culinary scene,” Brumfield said.

Gaylord Olympian Winter Vinecki to skip 2026/27 season

Gaylord native and U.S. aerial skier Winter Vinecki announced she is skipping the 2026/27 season to prioritize her health and recover from ongoing injuries. The 27-year-old athlete did not receive medical clearance in time to safely train for the upcoming World Cup schedule after undergoing a neck operation earlier this year. Vinecki shared the update on social media, explaining that stepping away from competition is a vital step for her long-term future in aerial skiing. The pause comes after navigating multiple physical challenges in recent years while competing at the highest international level. Vinecki chose her team after more than a decade with the national program. “After 11 years on the U.S. Ski Team, I have had to make the incredibly difficult decision with my team not to compete this winter,” Vinecki said. Despite enduring physical setbacks over the last three years, Vinecki has remained a top performer in her sport. She is a five-time individual World Cup champion who placed second in the overall Aerials World Cup standings for the 2023/24 season. In January 2026, she secured a victory in Lac-Beauport, Canada and later placed sixth at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. While she will miss the

Charlevoix graduate Luke Snyder thriving on 8-2 Butler team

INDIANA - Luke Snyder has navigated a college football career defined by perseverance, geographic challenges and physical injuries. Hailing from Charlevoix, Snyder spent 5 seasons at Davenport University, where he served as a senior team captain before transferring to Butler. Growing up in Northern Michigan, Snyder recognized early that local athletes needed to take deliberate extra steps to compete at higher levels. “I always knew that you had to take extra steps coming from, I mean, coming from Charlevoix, it’s the competition,” Snyder said. “Is there a difference? I can see the talent difference. But at the end of the day, it’s really just about how bad you want it.” To gain exposure, Snyder traveled extensively during his youth with his father and brother, making annual trips to Louisiana for the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, La. He also attended camps at IMG Academy and events in Ohio to measure his progress against elite prospects. “I went to all different camps just to get exposure and to sort of gauge where your level of competition is at versus other kids and how you stack up,” Snyder said. “And I think that’s really important for young athletes coming out of Northern
