The game is simple, and no two trips will ever be the same when the only rules are to start at 8 a.m., stop at 2:18 p.m., and deliver a package of Oreos to a fire station before the day is done. To help guide us along our journey together, the enclosed game spinner reveals which direction to go and what object or location to be on the lookout for. Once we reach our destination, we will use the oracle chips in the Serentripity Road Trip Game to reveal what action to take.
Join one of House of Shine’s Serentripity Experiences and watch as your adventure of fate unfolds and exciting memories are made!
You must be 18 or older to attend.

Mark your calendars for an exciting event that blends community, creativity, and purpose—our 8th Annual Holiday Artisan Market Featuring Student Entrepreneurs is happening Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 11 AM to 2 PM!
Hosted by House of Shine, a leadership development nonprofit, the Holiday Artisan Market is a signature event that showcases the talents and entrepreneurial spirit of young leaders, ages 8–18. At House of Shine, we believe that where your talents and interests meet a community need is where your SHINE truly lives—and this market is a perfect example of that philosophy in action.
The Artisan Market is a festive opportunity to support young entrepreneurs, find unique handcrafted holiday gifts, and experience the spirit of community that defines House of Shine. Leading up to the event, student entrepreneurs have been hard at work—crafting, designing, and refining one-of-a-kind products like handmade jewelry, home-baked goods, holiday cards, crochet items, paintings, and more. Along the way, they’ve gained hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, marketing, and leadership through workshops such as Discover Your Strengths, Middle School StrengthsExplorer, SHINE, and Point of Intersection. Each entrepreneur donates at least 10% of their sales to a charity of their choice—building confidence, self-awareness, and community impact all at once.
Join us for an inspiring day of shopping, fun, and festivities—including a food truck, live music, and family-friendly activities. By attending, you’re not only getting a head start on your holiday shopping, but also empowering young changemakers and contributing to a great cause.
Admission to the 8th Annual Holiday Artisan Market is free and open to the public—no ticket required to attend. However, guests are invited to purchase a Holiday Shopper Pass ($4), which includes a reusable 2025 Holiday Artisan Market shopping bag.
Quantities are limited, so grab your Holiday Shopper Pass early to enjoy an eco-friendly way to carry your market finds while supporting young entrepreneurs!

This event is more than a holiday activity; it’s a full community celebration designed to bring people together in the spirit of fun, friendly competition, and all things SHINE.
Timing
There will be two competitions, one from 2-3 PM, and another from 4-5 PM. During the intermission, there will be plenty of festive activities to do! Note that creators can only compete once
The Competition (Teams of 2):
There will be a timed gingerbread-building round, and the houses will be judged by a panel – including SHINE SANTA – on creativity, design, and structural strength. Winners will be selected, and special prizes will be awarded to the top team.
Two Ways to Participate:
Team Registration is available for those who want to compete and build and meet the age requirement (12+), while General Admission is ideal for supporters, friends, and family who wish to enjoy the experience without participating in competition.
Holiday Extras:
There will be an area to write and send letters to Santa, a Christmas craft-making station, and an audience seating area. Plenty of festive photo moments and Santa cheer will make the event as merry as can be!
