Apparently it was Bob Barrenger's activities that got them driven out of the first town.
2. What could they buy in Waterford for $5?

Answer: a jacket

Bill tells this to Wally as he's showing him the new town. He passes a rack of clothes with a sign reading 'Factory Seconds $5', but relays the info as 'Look here, a jacket for $5. I could buy this whole town for 50 bucks.'
3. What does Uberto say will have to be changed about the firehouse when he first sees it?

He says it's behind the times and is dragging down their town.
5. What kind of souvenir does Wally look at in the hotel before ringing the bell to get someone's attention?

Answer: Waterford Vermont plate

You know the kind...cheesy things with a picture of something 'representative' on them that no one would actually want to find underneath their food.
6. When Bill takes the phone from Wally in the hotel lobby to discuss the move to the new town, Wally picks something up and uses it. What is it?

He doesn't even get it on the target board. From the looks of the wall, though, he's not the first one to miss.

Answer: lilacs

Wally orders a 'truckload' of lilacs for her arrival.

Right before looking at some costume sketches and meeting the mayor, he tells an assistant that he needs his lucky pillow.

Annie's response to Joe's somewhat patronizing comment that in a small town they must have to make their own fun: 'Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself, it ain't fun. It's entertainment.'

Annie says it's a very good play, but it sounds like a bit of a downer to me.
