You all probably know by now that the USPO is adding a Simpsons stamp to its repertoire of American luminaries, sports figures, flags, the Forever, etc. Can I get a doh?

Anyway, the Simpsons being from a certain Springfield, OUR Springfield is holding a daylong cancellation event at its PO on May 7, the day the stamp comes out. You’ll recall that the Vermont town was the winner in a national vote for its locally produced video representing the fictional setting of the tv show.

S’field is a bit of a hike for us up here in Burlington, but the place will no doubt be swarming with area fans of the country’s favorite dysfunctional family. Hours, of course, are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Customers can feel free to pester, I mean, call the Springfield PO at 802-885-4103.

Got something to say?
