He opened an amusement park on the Fairgrounds in 1951 with Shetland pony rides and a three-car train. The park grew into a successful business, but in 2006 the county did not renew its lease, so unfortunately it had to close.

6. What type of clothing are "bell-bottoms"?

Answer: Trousers/pants

General Knowledge: Bell-bottoms, also known as flares, are a style of trousers/pants with legs which become very wide at the bottom, hence the lower part of them resembles the shape of a bell. They were extremely popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
7. In which country would you find the village of "Bell End"?

Answer: England

Geography: Bell End is a village in the county of Worcestershire, England. Though it is a tiny village, its sign is often photographed, due to the name also having a rude slang meaning.
8. Britain's oldest manufacturing company makes bells. What is the name of this company?

Answer: Whitechapel Bell Foundry

History: Big Ben, the bell in the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament in London was made at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. So was the Liberty Bell, which is now in Philadelphia.

12. Belle is one of the main characters in the 1991 Disney film "Beauty and the Beast". What is the name of the 1997 sequel?

Answer: Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas

Movies: This film is hardly what you'd call a "classic", but it does feature Tim Curry as an evil pipe organ, and Angela Lansbury reprises her role as a teapot, so it can't all be bad.
13. Which of the following songs by Swedish group ABBA, contains the line "I can hear a bell ring"?

Answer: Mamma Mia

Music: In this song it's a euphemism for finding someone irresistible. Fascinating fact: the ABBA song Mamma Mia went to number 1 in the UK singles chart on 31st Jan 1976, replacing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" - whose lyrics also contain the words "Mamma Mia".
14. Which of the following is Alexander Graham Bell credited with inventing?
