The Simpsons

The town of Springfield, Vermont has beaten 13 rivals and will host the premier 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 is one of the most common place names in the United States. Vermont was chosen in an online vote after 14 towns submitted videos to argue why their town should win. The premier is on July 21.
