Sunday Cruise: May 18, 2025

Once again we’re going to head south to the small town of Coats, NC where there is a quaint, country style ice cream shop, called Smith Farm. They have picnic tables, shade and a clean bathroom. This makes for a great place to picnic and then have ice cream available on-site. If you want to see some pictures Google “Smith Farm” in Coats.

The address is Smith Farm, 919 Hwy 55 E., Coats, NC 27521.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and non-alcoholic drinks for yourself.

Things to bring:

1. Cash (for ice cream)
2. Lawn chairs (just in case all the tables are occupied)
3. Mosquito spray
4. Sunscreen
5. Food and non-alcoholic drinks for yourselves
