Over the last several years many of our relatives have left
                            home and never returned.  Consequently, this past year,
                            1998-1999, the communities of St. Bride's and Cuslett have
                            organized a Come Home Year in 1999.

                            Running from August 6 - 15 of 1999, the Come Home Year
                            Celebrations saw thousands of former residents return to
                            the beautiful Cape Shore.  Over the ten days, visitors and
                            entertainers alike were treated to old friends, old jokes, and
                            a lot of laughing.  From headline performers like "The Fables"
                            and "Celtic Connection" to hometown acts like "The
                            O'Rourkes", there was something there for all to enjoy.
                            Performers weren't everything though, as even the venues
                            were something to gawk at.  From the beautiful Bird Rock at
                            Cape St. Mary's to the majestic and peaceful Cuslett Brook,
                             the sites were absolutely breath-taking.

                            The day-time activities were just as thrilling, with bed races,
                            old-fashioned Garden Parties, and even a Santa Claus Parade
                            in the middle of August.  It was something to remember, and
                            will not soon be forgotten in Cuslett and St. Bride's.  As the
                            song "Emoc Emoh", written by Cuslett's own Eddie Coffey
                            goes:

                              "Come Home Year we should all be together,
                                 For a great old time despite all the weather,
                                 'Cause it's Come Home Year in Cuslett and St. Bride's"
