If you can’t count on one hand the number of times you’ve been to a Disney theme park, put on your mouse ears and listen up: Barcadia is hosting Disney Trivia Wednesday, Sept. 26, 8-10:30 p.m.

You must be swift as the coursing river with all the force of a great typhoon and all the strength of a raging fire to defeat the other teams. Oh, and you’ll want to register here.

Take a magic carpet ride to Barcadia at 3347 Highland Road. Players will need to bring $5 cash, and winning teams will receive money, gift cards and—obviously—Disney-related prizes.

Driftwood Cask & Barrel will host EatDrinkSign!—a dinner fundraiser to benefit nonprofit Deaf Focus—Thursday, Sept. 27, 6-10 p.m. All servers at the event will be deaf, and guests may order the meal in sign language.

The event at Driftwood, 326 Third St., is in honor of Nation Deaf Awareness Week. Josh Castille, a deaf actor from Lafayette, will host. If that weren’t enough to look forward to,Driftwood’s chef will be prepping an off-the-menu three-course meal. We’re talking Natchitoches meat pies, grilled redfish and New York-style cheesecake with strawberry sauce.
