The instigator: Pete Pierce, who owns a
house on Weatherby Lake in Platte County and who thought it
“would be cool if we could have the entire lake noodled at

The police chief and mayor were on hand
as official witnesses.
Pierce's first noodle party occurred
in 2007. The folks at Guinness World Records told him they
didn't have a category for most
people floating on noodles in a lake. GWR (Guinness
World Records) notified them that they “are not able to accept
this as a Guinness World Record stating “it is not something
for which we are currently interested in listing as a record...”
