In this episode of The Art Box, we sit down with Marie Alvery, the reigning 2025 Ms. Senior Mesquite, along with Becky Boyd, the longtime leader and administrator of the Ms. Senior Mesquite Pageant in Mesquite.
Marie shares her personal experience as this year’s titleholder and how participating in the pageant has opened doors to new friendships, community service, and personal growth. Becky offers insight into the heart behind the program and how it celebrates the wisdom, talents, and life stories of senior women in our community. Together they discuss the many benefits the pageant brings, not only to the contestants, but to the entire Mesquite community.
We begin the episode with a short public service announcement featuring Sara Ruiz, who joins us to talk about the upcoming Annual Easter Egg Hunt, sponsored by Canyonlands Healthcare and the City of Mesquite, taking place on March 28.
It’s a conversation about community spirit, celebrating life’s journeys, and the power of staying active, creative, and engaged at every stage of life.
The 2026 Ms. Senior Pageant takes place May 2 at the Mesquite Community Theatre 150 N. Yucca Street.
