Home Coming 1999
 

All of the ingredients were there to make the last homecoming of the millennium a great success. Mix a parade and a variety of presentations with athletic contests and royalty and you have a Homecoming get-together worth of Berea College. More then 1800 alumni returned to campus to participate in the home coming activities.
