The breakfast which is open to the public, features cooking by Fresno State officials, Bulldog coaches and community leaders. Among those who will don the Vintage Days chef aprons are Fresno State President John. D.

Other chefs include Linda Penner, chief probation officer for the Fresno County Probation Department; Fresno State Provost Dennis Nef, Director of Athletics Thomas Boeh and Fresno State Police Chief David Huerta.

The event, designed to build enthusiasm for Vintage Days, is sponsored by the Staff Assembly, a university-recognized organization that provides a voice for staff employees and involves them in campus activities.

Vintage Days runs April 16-19. The free student-planned celebration annually brings more than 50,000 people to the campus. In addition to several attractions such as the Boomtown Carnival, Kid’s Zone and special events, such as this spring’s Golden State Strongest Man Competition, public tours of the new Henry Madden Library will be available.

Tickets for the pancake breakfast are $5 presale and $6 at the event.
