Jobbie Nooner parties on despite pandemic on Lake St. Clair

The social distancing rules of a global pandemic factored in a little bit Friday, but party goers were still on the water.

It started back in the 1970s on Lake St. Clair.

FOX 2: "Are you worried about having contact with a lot of people?"

"We've got our rule, 6 feet, we've got our boat, our masks, so we are perfectly fine," said Shawanna, a party goer.

"Definitely the plan is not to be in the middle of it like usual but we still want to have a good time," said Lauren, a partygoer.

"We're going to drive by there but I don't want to be in a big crowd," said John, a boater.

The St. Clair County Sherriff’s Office says because of the size of the event; the Marine Division is unable to enforce social distancing or mask wearing.
