Manteca is marking its 100th year as a city in 2018 with a series of events.
Kicking things off is a Centennial Pancake Breakfast on Saturday.
It takes place Saturday, Jan. 20, from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Manteca Senior Center, 295 Cherry Lane.
Recreation Supervisor Brandy Clark said besides helping fund activities planned to mark the centennial in May — the city actually incorporated on May 28, 1918 — it will also serve as a chance for people to be updated on planned activities.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $6 for children 10 and under. You can purchase tickets in advance at the Manteca Parks & Recreation office at 252 Magnolia Ave., or the Manteca Senior Center.
The breakfast will consist of birthday pancakes, link sausage, Swiss eggs, string cheese, fruit, coffee, juice, and milk.
There will also be a silent auction, 50/50 raffle as well as raffle drawings.

Other events for the year
There are a number of other events already scheduled in addition to others that are being finalized.
The dedication of the World War I mural along with the official city birthday party takes place Saturday, May 19.
The mural is the fifth and final in a series of five honoring those who served from the Manteca area in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and The Global War on Terror. The murals grace the eastern facing wall of the Manteca Bedquarters at Yosemite Avenue and Main Street.
It is believed to the largest concentration of murals in one location honoring veterans in California.
Also planned are:
Movies in the Parks in the spring and summer.
A special extended aerial fireworks display on the Fourth of July.
An end of the year closing gala on Dec. 8.
A community mural project.
Planting of 100 trees throughout the city
East Union Cemetery events, tours, and scavenger hunt.
A sporting event to be determined.
The incorporation of centennial celebration components in the Crossroads Street Faire, Pumpkin Fair, and Independence Day parade.
