After our first visit to the Painted Hills, my husband and I marveled at the breathtaking beauty found in this region. Smitten by the gorgeous natural surroundings, we sold our home in Mt Angel and purchased a home in the town of Spray where today, after retiring as a Procurement & Contract Specialist 2 from the Salem-Keizer School District, we have become active members of our energetic community. Growing up, I was a member of 4-H and FFA, and my dad, a Lion’s Club member for over 50 years, taught me the importance of community service. My passion is landscaping and helping my neighbors’ complete projects at their homes, the General Store art center and the Spray Museum. 

I am on the board of the Wheeler County Cultural and Heritage Coalition, assist with the new John Day River Farm Trail brochure, serve as treasurer for both the Frontier Chamber of Commerce and the Spray Museum, and organize the Community Clean Up Day for the City of Spray. Together with multiple town volunteers, my husband and I serve the community by coordinating and executing enhancement projects and keeping a pulse on the needs of the community while sneaking away occasionally to attend neighboring events and take in the grandeur of the majestic landscape found all around us.

Brandie McNamee is a ranch wife, mom of three, CPA, and small-town dreamer on a mission to bring new life to her hometown of Antelope. Between chasing cows, kids, and spreadsheets, she’s found a new passion reviving her community.

In 2023, Brandie and her husband Larry bought the old Antelope Café and RV Park, turning them into Antelope Basecamp and restoring the Café to a convenience store projects aimed at creating local jobs and restoring the town’s heartbeat. She’s also rolled up her sleeves to help restore the Antelope School Building, proving that even the smallest towns can do big things.

For Brandie, volunteering isn’t just a duty it’s a chance to spark something lasting in rural life. She is excited to serve on the Oregon Frontier board in hopes to bring more opportunities to our rural areas.
