After more than 18 years and 400 episodes of The Simpsons cartoon, producers have kept the extremely vague location of the Simpsons Springfield secret long enough...
Today is the last day of voting at a U.S.A Today competition where 14 Towns called Springfield in 14 states are fighting to be named the official hometown of Homer, Marge, Bart , Lisa, Moe, Apu and all of the other classic Simpsons characters. One lucky Springfield will host the official 'yellow carpet' film premiere on 26 July.
Springfields from Louisiana and Vermont, Colorado, Nebraska,Missouri,Ohio,Florida, Oregon,Kentucky,Illinois,New Jersey,Massachusets,Tennessee, and Michigan produced short films featuring fictional places like Moe's Tavern and the Krusty Burger fast-food joint.
In Massachusetts, even Senator Ted Kennedy(A.K.A. Mayor Quimby) is campaigning for the town.
'Fox TV have been trying to get him to appear in the show for 18 years and here he is coming to the aid of our small town,' said the entry's producer David Horgan. '

I am one of 200 volunteers who appeared in the winning Springfield Vermont video. After helping them win, our local Chamber of Commerce turned their back on us. The elite in town received the invitations to view the world premiere in place of us. And not even a word of thanks or mention of us in the public ceremony outside the theater! You can read more about this and check out some of the sights and sounds of premiere day at our new website:
