Jobbie Nooner
The Jobbie Nooner is an event that began in the 1980s.[1] Auto workers who called themselves "jobbies", would pick a Friday and take off work at noon to party at Gull Island (Lake St. Clair, Michigan) for the day.[1] The event was originally timed to coincide with the late Lee Wagner's birthday, but eventually grew to become a bigger celebration.[2] [3] The party now occurs twice a year.[4]
The event keeps growing and in 2010 it attracted 10,000 people.[5]
