2. Enjoy a good meal with a touch of magic at the Old Forge Brewing Company, 532 Mill St., Danville, tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. As part of the Going Gold initiative to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer, Brent Kessler will be doing tableside magic at the restaurant while local musician Woody Wolfe serenades diners. Adults can help the cause by buying a pint of Gold Dust Pale Ale, as Old Forge will be donating a dollar of every pint sold to ThinkBIG. For more details, go to thinkbigpa.org.
