...Vermont's Springfield is the winning town in the Simpson's Movie Premiere.
Vermont's tiny Springfield of 9,300 beat out such notable states as Massachusetts, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oregon, and New Jersey.
New Jersey was quoted as saying "It was a stupid contest anyway and doesn't prove anything."
The film debuts July 21 in Springfield, Vermont with the movie creators walking on a yellow carpet.
Springfield is about 35 miles north of here.
Me, on the Simpsons
