Congratulations Vermont!

I always thought Springfield – home of The Simpsons - was in Oregon, but this summer Homer and the family will make Vermont home.
The state’s Springfield beat out 13 other Springfields in the U.S. for the premiere of the anticipated Simpsons Movie.
According to a Reuters article, the city beat out the other Springfields by producing a video showing a Homer Simpson look-alike chasing a giant, pink doughnut through the town. It also boasted similarities to the cartoon Springfield, such as having a nuclear power plant nearby.
The New England town has a population of about 9,500.
The premier of “The Simpsons Movie,” will be held on July 21 in Vermont with the filmmakers on hand to walk the yellow carpet, the Reuters article said.
The other 13 Springfields will also be given small screenings on July 26, the night before the movie hits theaters nationwide.
And for you trivia buffs out there, there are 34 Springfields in the U.S.
So Congratulations Vermont. I’m sure Homer will love your maple syrup. Mmmmm, syrup.

Now, it's time to do the Bartman!
