MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT 2017


"The Age of Elegance, Acknowledge it, Embrace it, Act on it", is the theme for the MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT 2017.  Harrah's Resort Hotel & Casino will host the annual event on Wednesday, May 31st at 1:00PM, in the Concert Venue Theater.  The Pageant is the search for that gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all senior Americans.

Nine women who have entered the "Age of Elegance", that is, 60 years or better, will participate in the time honored Pageant.  The winner then goes on to compete for the national title of MS SENIOR AMERICA 2017, which will be held at Resorts also in Atlantic City in October.

QUEEN Diane Deluca spoke at the luncheon about her experiences during this year of her reign.  The photo collage was from the Mr. Mature America Pageant, that was held in Ocean City earlier this year.  She had an exciting and rewarding year, and gave much needed advised to the contestants.
