August 26, 2011 - Fort Collins/Loveland Airport (Otterbox Hangar, 5833 Langley Ave.)  MAP  6pm-11pm

Perhaps the most unique and unforgettable event to hit northern Colorado. The Suitcase Party is held at an airplane hangar at the Fort Collins/Loveland airpark, completely converted from industrial hangar to draped and decorated event hall with a live wine garden, a diverse mix of food stations, live music and auction stage, and a half dozen bars serving water, soda, beer, wine, scotch and more. The evening consists of smart-casually dressed guests (sundresses and camp shirts), arriving to a red carpet and TSA-style registration with champagne flowing from the gates. Inside the hangar is a cigar lounge, scotch bar, cuisine prepared by our own top-rated chef from Chimney Park Bistro and enough drink stations to serve the nearly 700 guests that share in the event annually. An Ebay-style touch screen silent auction runs throughout the night allowing patrons to bid on items ranging from ice cream cakes to tropical getaways at private villas. The introductions to the evening are made by guest celebrity MCs, followed by live music performed throughout the night. A live auction starts around 8:00, just as the sun is setting behind the stage, with the culmination of the evening coming with the raffle for an exclusive, all-inclusive weekend in Napa Valley, including a round trip flight on a private jet, private car service, VIP stay in a high-end estate in wine country, exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of wineries and incredible meals at the best restaurants in Napa. This exciting adventure leaves 20 minutes after the raffle, directly from the tarmac outside the hangar to the cheers of all the guests of the evening. And, newly added... Vegas, baby!  A private jet for 4 will whisk you away to the Four Seasons in Las Vegas for Friday and Saturday night stay in two premier suites on the Strip!
