Time is fast approaching for the 2015 Ms. Colorado Senior America Pageant, which showcase contestants who have reached the “Age of Elegance” (age 60 and over), who still have that spark and sparkle, poise and personality, tenacity and talent to compete for the Colorado title. The Ms. Colorado Senior America Pageant is a non-profit organization created to emphasize and give honor to women with extraordinary talent and achievements who continue to use their talents to enrich the lives of others and support their communities. A few of these ladies have gone on to speak and perform across the nation. Dr. Karen Taylor, Ms. Colorado Senior America 2011, just returned from Puerto Rico where she was speaking and performing. These vibrant, youthful senior women love the camaraderie and sharing of their experiences, and perform in showcases throughout the year in order to fund the pageant.
This year’s new queen is selected by a panel of distinguished judges who score each contestant on a private interview, gracing the stage in her evening gown and stating her philosophy of life, as well as performing her talent. After being crowned Ms. Colorado Senior America 2015 by Sharon Nuanes, Ms. Colorado Senior America 2014, the 2015 queen visits Atlantic City, N.J. in October, where she competes for the national title of Ms. Senior America.
