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 guest arriving to a red carpet and TSA-style registration with champagne flowing from the gates.

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.
