The Ms. Texas Senior America 2009 Pageant was held on August 12, 2009 at the Dallas Double Tree Hotel.

CONGRATULATIONS to the beautiful and talented SARAH SENTER, Ms. Texas Senior America 2009. We would also like to thank the State Directors Mary Frances Hansen & John Dornheim and the Sponsors for another successful Texas state pageant!  



 I am Sarah Senter, I am 62 years old. I am a wife, mother and grandmother.

I am married to my love for 33 years. I have 2 wonderful children. My daughter is a first grade teacher and is married with 2 children 18 and 14. My son is an aerospace engineer and married to a high school math teacher and they're expecting their first child in February.

My husband and I own and operate a successful custom drapery business for over 16 years working with interior designers in Dallas, Texas. Our business carries us to many cities throughout the country.

Tap dancing is my passion and I've been dancing since I was 5 years old. I belong to a performing group called "The Dallas Tap Dazzlers." We perform over 100 performances a year, which includes nursing homes and retirement centers. In February, our group was invited to participate in "Senior Day" at the state capital. I received the greatest honor (besides being crowned Ms. Texas Senior America)" when I was asked to do my solo as part of the show on the rotunda floor of the capitol of the great state of Texas. I also perform with the Texas Cameo Club.

I enjoy traveling immensely with cruising being one of my favorite ways to visit new destinations. One of the most adventurous experiences I've had was in Hawaii when I "Ziphined" through the tree tops at 250 ft. above the ground. What a high that was! On the ground I love to ride with my "hubby" on the back of his motorcycle through the country side. We have been blessed to be able to participate in our children's athletic experiences and now we are blessed to experience it with our grandchildren. I am tryly blessed with good health and for many years to come I plan on the keep dancing and living life to its fullest.

The Ms. Senior America Pageant is the world's first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the "Age of Elegance." It is a search for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and resources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a better society.
