March 18: Disney-themed trivia

Which Disney princess isn’t technically a princess because she wasn’t born or married into royalty? If you know the answer, this event might be your thing. Severance Brewing Co. is hosting a Disney trivia night with prizes from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. In addition to Disney’s animated movies, the questions will test your knowledge of Pixar movies and Disney history. The downtown brewery suggests arriving early because seats tend to fill up early for trivia nights. There’s also fewer tables than usual because of COVID precautions. BTW, the answer is Mulan.
