Vermont Town Becomes 'Simpsons' Home
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007
The US town of Springfield, Vermont, has beaten 13 rivals and will host the premiere of the film about the animated family The Simpsons.
The show is set in a fictional Springfield because its creator, Matt Groening, spotted that it was one of the most common place-names in the US.
Vermont was chosen in an online vote after 14 towns submitted videos to argue why their town should win.
The premiere is on 21 July, ahead of national US release on 27 July.
