On Sunday, October 14th, the Lake Elmo Inn Event Center hosted the 4th annual Valley Vine and Harvest Throwdown on behalf of Canvas Health. The Throwdown is a competitive food and wine event featuring the area's finest chefs. The Lake Elmo Inn and our very own, Chef John Schiltz took home the prize of "Top Chef"!
