ANNUAL GULL ISLAND CELEBRATION IS A HIT
Jobbie Nooner took place on and around Gull Island in Clay Township on Lake St. Clair Friday. With great weather, the annual day of drinking and debauchery had a large crowd with about 3,000 boats anchored at the island. According to the St. Clair County Sheriff, there were few injuries and the crowd was well-behaved. One serious incident involved a man who was found face down in the water. He was revived and taken to Beaumont Hospital. He's expected to be fine, although may have a bad headache today. Jobbie Nooner was created in the 1980's by area autoworkers looking to knock off of work early on a Friday to enjoy an afternoon of boating. The annual party takes place in June and September each year.
