Friday 10:30am 2:30pm Pay for your own lunch General Store Parking Lot at Fontana Village none 24

Pay for your own lunch. Motor down the famous twisty Moonshiner 28 as we head south from Fontana to historic Franklin N.C. and visit the Lazy Hiker Brewery Co. tap room. Lazy Hiker has two food trucks on site for lunch or you can visit a well-known restaurant on Main Street like the Motor Company Grill to get some grub!

We will drive to Franklin together as a group and meet at the Lazy Hiker where we can gather, socialize as MINIacs, try some great brews, and take a few group photos. From there we encourage everyone to explorer the historic Franklin area and head back to Fontana at your own pace and time.
