Miss Any of the Romney Retreat? All the Details from the Donor Confab If you're like most of America, maybe you spent this summer weekend barbecuing. Not super-rich Republican donors, conservative thinkers and GOP elective officials. They were in beautiful Park City, Utah, where presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney hosted a fundraiser / policy brainstorming session / salon for everybody who is anybody in the Republican party. The event was closed to the public and reporters, but here, pieced together from ABC reporters on the ground, is some of what you'd have seen if you had made the list to hobnob with the Republican elite. FRIDAY AFTERNOON: As attendees entered the Chateaux at Silver Lake, the host hotel, throughout the sunny afternoon, they were handed a Vineyard Vines tan canvas tote bag with navy piping and the words "Believe in America" stitched on the side. Inside the bag was a blue baseball hat with "Romney" written over a circular American flag and a thick white binder, detailing the weekend's schedule from policy discussions to social events, along with a list of Romney's upcoming events and Romney for president pins. In addition to the Romney swag, there was also a typed note from Romney's National Finance Chairman Spencer Zwick addressed to the attendees by their first names. Some were even personalized with a handwritten note from Zwick expressing appreciation to the donor and his or her family, signed with his initials "SZ." Golf carts whipped attendees around the complex and to discussions on healthcare, Israel, the state of the race, and the financial services industry that were conducted both Friday and Saturday. Rodger Young and his 26-year-old daughter, Lauren, came from New York and Chicago respectively for the retreat (each attendee was allowed a guest, or plus one) and they described the speech as "positive" in tone. Although the father recounted that Baker did say the country was in "significant trouble" because of the nation's "debt burden," he said Baker also assured that the state of the world "internationally...isn't as bad as you think," specifically pointing out that America has "still by far the strongest military." FRIDAY NIGHT: Retreat goers attended a reception at Olympic Park, which sits atop a mountain overlooking picturesque Park City. As young Olympic hopefuls practiced on the ski jumping hills from the 2002 Olympics, which Romney ran, donors arrived amid heavy security. Reporters were not allowed into the event, but Olympic athletes did perform their ski jumping for those lucky enough to attend with their plus ones. Two donors who attended the reception said their highlight was Ann Romney's speech when she introduced her family and roasted her sons, four of whom attended. South Dakota Sen. John Thune told ABC News Ann Romney's speech was "funny" and called Mitt Romney's address "inspirational" in tone that went beyond just thanking the fundraisers, adding that the presumptive GOP nominee described how he wants to lead the country. SATURDAY MORNING: To kick off Day Two, Sen. John McCain addressed the donors. Young said McCain spoke about Iran, saying that "Iran is so much closer to nuclear weaponry than they were at the commencement of the Barack Obama term." The panels might have been well attended, but Saturday morning the place to be was the lobby where a man in a dark suit and purple pocket square was camped out talking to what appeared to be lanyard-wearing donors. He wasn't attending any of the panels or discussions and didn't even want to go in to get a cup of coffee, but with attendees walking to and from meetings or gathering to talk, the lobby was a popular gathering point. "ROF staff were not invited, nor did they attend or participate in the retreat," Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said. Of course, he wasn't the only person affiliated with a GOP superPAC on hand for the weekend events. SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Karl Rove, founder of American Crossroads and a former Bush strategist, was also there. According to Young, Rove said, "We had to focus on some particular groups, such as some Republicans that didn't vote in the last election," including focusing on women. Spotted walking into the Rove panel: Matt Romney More on all the panels here: http://abcn.ws/KVYBX9 SATURDAY'S LUNCH RECEPTION: Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was very well received, with almost every donor saying her speech was the highlight of the weekend. ALSO SATURDAY: It wasn't just listening to the top leaders and thinkers of the Republican Party. SATURDAY EVENING: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush spoke at the final reception, and as donors were leaving to go to private dinners at restaurants and residences around town, one fundraiser from Greenwich, Conn., said Bush told the crowd "the country was only growing at 2 percent when we could be growing at 4 percent. Spotted going into the Bush reception: Ben, Matt, and Craig Romney. After the address, attendees were whisked away in vans to private dinners where the GOP bold faced names addressed the crowd. Most were held in homes around Park City, but the one headlined by Sen. Rob Portman was just across the street. Portman exclusively chatted with ABC News as he made the stroll along the sidewalk to the restaurant at the Golden Hirschner Inn. He called former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's evening speech "scintillating. It was great as always" and said he delivered a "very positive message about the importance of this election and about Governor Romney. Portman is considered one of the top contenders for Romney to pick as a running mate, and he joined a number of other possible VPs at the donor confab including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. Find even more spottings, detail, and color from the weekend here: http://abcn.ws/Nq3mDc
