Inquiring Minds Want to know...What Happened to Bart?

One minute he was there, the next minute he was gone! Bart Simpson was sitting quietly on the sofa with his family in Center Court promoting the Simpsons Movie contest last month when he simply disappeared! (We are just talking about a movie prop, here!)
Stolen? Not at all! Tower Square's sharp security team immediately caught the video producer of the local Springfield Simpsons contest on tape as he hoisted the four-foot plastic likeness of Bart onto his shoulder and carried it out the Main Street entrance.
The reason? Bart was on his way to New York, with local video producer, David Horgan (aka "Bart Snatcher"), to be autographed by the Simpsons movie producer Mike Scully.
With Scully's autograph, Bart is now even more valuable, especially to fans of the show, which has a cult-like following. It's all part of the plan of local promotions experts, who aren't letting any grass grow under their feet, since losing last month's contest to Vermont.
The plan? To make some money for a wonderful local organization that helps children in the Pioneer Valley! The Springfield and West Springfield Boys & Girls Club will be the beneficiaries of a Simpsons' Auction!
Local promoters are auctioning off the autographed Simpsons Movie props and other unique items on a special E-Bay auction conducted by Leave It 4 Auction, a West Springfield firm specializing in professionally offered items.
Interested in getting in on the act? You can bid on the Simpsons auction items, some of which were donated by Simpsons creator and cartoonist Matt Groening, and producer Mike Scully on E-bay beginning July 29 through August 4th.
For more information on the Simpsons auction contact Azell Murphy Cavaan at 787-6100 or Tony Cignoli at 739-1005.
