Cookout At Owl Farm

An Afternoon Cookout at Owl Farm,

the Legendary Home of Hunter S. Thompson

On Sunday afternoon, June 10, following the completion of the NORML Aspen Legal Seminar, Hunter Thompson’s widow, Anita Thompson, has kindly invited the seminar attendees out to the fabled Owl Farm in Woody Creek to spend the afternoon.

According to Anita Thompson, Hunter admired the NORML
lawyers perhaps as much as most of us admired him
, and Anita is
opening her home to the NLC as an expression of this respect and appreciation.

We’ll provide hot dogs and hamburgers and spend the afternoon enjoying the beautiful mountain ranch and breathtaking scenery where Hunter lived and worked for most of his life.

Hunter S. Thompson, the celebrated writer and journalist, was a longtime NORML Advisory Board member and supporter, who first joined the Advisory Board in 1973, and served until the time of his death in 2005.

Seminar attendees may wish to stop by the Woody Creek Tavern, where Hunter spent lots of time over the years, for a beer and some local color, on the way to Owl Farm, which is just a short distance away.

Below is a video made by NORML Legal Committee Member Jeralyn Merritt about Owl Farm.
