A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A SENIOR QUEEN


Since winning the title of MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA 2017, Carolyn Slade Harden has had a busy year of appearances throughout the State of New Jersey.  She has received numerous letters from State and Federal Lawmakers acknowledging her achievement.  Next week, she will crown the new QUEEN who will reign for 2018.

It has been many years since a New Jersey QUEEN won the National Title, the most recent being Sandra Greco, in 2003, with Laverne Stokes and Jan Dickinson, dating back to the early 1980s.  During the millenium, State QUEENS have made the top 10, and even all the way up to first runner up. 

Finally, Carolyn Slade Harden, from Manchester, went on to win the title of MS SENIOR AMERICA 2017.  National QUEENS also have an impressive travel itineray and TV appearances during the year of their reign.  Carolyn has begun travelling to other State Pageants to appear as guest performer and to crown their State QUEENS.
 
When Carolyn takes the stage at Harrahs next week to give her farewell presentation, it will not be so bittersweet as it has been with the former New Jersey QUEENS.  Although her year as State QUEEN has come to an end, Carolyn still has the rest of  her reign as MS SENIOR AMERICA 2017 to fullfill.
 
GOOD LUCK, DEAR QUEEN, WITH THE REST OF YOUR TRAVELS - YOU'VE MADE NEW JERSEY PROUD!
