Having a chance to win a $975 pair of 14K white gold earrings with diamonds, emeralds and pearls is just one reason to attend Rancho Bernardo Historical Society’s pancake breakfast.

The eighth annual fundraiser will be 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 25 at Bernardo Winery, 13330 Paseo del Verano Norte. Tickets — sold at the event and in advance at the historical society’s museum in the winery — are $6 per person, with veterans and active duty military (bring ID or photo in uniform) and children under age 3 admitted for free.

Chairwoman Jane Harmon said breakfast ticket stubs will be entered into the door prize drawing for the earrings, donated by Jewel & Vine. The winner need not be present. There will be additional prize opportunities via drawing tickets sold at the breakfast, priced at six for $5. A silent auction will also be held.

The breakfast benefits the historical society’s museum, its educational programs and outreach activities.

The menu will feature pancakes, sausage, fruit, orange juice and coffee. There will be musical entertainment by The Dixie Strutters and children’s activities such as face painting and bounce houses.

The event will honor two military veterans. Former Marine Sgt. Colin Archipley of Valley Center established the Veteran’s Sustainable Agricultural Training Course at his organic farm to help soldiers transitioning into a civilian careers. Since 2007, more than 45 veterans learned hydroponic gardening technology, leadership and management skills.

Also honored will be Senior Chief Yeoman Barbara “Bobbie” Cole, a personnel administrator with the U.S. Coast Guard and La Jolla resident. Her 28-year career has taken her to many duty stations throughout the Pacific and West Coast.

Veterans are also encouraged to bring a photo of themselves in uniform so it can be scanned and included in the museum’s Wall of Honor.
