Annual Steam Rally
Every year, at the beginning of May, a steam rally is held, over the Saturday and Sunday selected. When the weather is nice, there is a massive turnout each year, and the little village has become quite respected for that. Even when the weather isn't so good, there are always the faithful village goers who trundle up there, determind to have fun. On the Saturday evening, there is a magnificent firework display, with rides and a beer tent. The Steam Rally reallyis worthwhile going to, as it has such a variety of stalls, there is something for everyone. The steam rally was one of the first steam rally's to introduce a country fayre to its list of attractions and now the whole thing covers many fields in Stoke Goldington.

Famous quotes containing the words annual, steam and/or rally:
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Wisely watch for the sight
Of the supernova burgeoning over the barn,
Lampshine blurred in the steam of beasts, the spirit’s right
Oasis, light incarnate.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
“I ... once witnessed more ardent emotions between men at an Elks’ Rally in Pasadena than they could ever have felt for the type of woman available to an Elk.”
—Anita Loos (1888–1981)
