Senior Queen Maggie Myers
Maggie Myers is a 30+ St Louis Park resident where she has raised her 2 daughters and grand-daughter. She works as a senior project manager for Thomson Reuters, building websites for small and medium law firms. In her spare time, she loves taking photos and going to festivals around the state and beyond.
Her love for festivals began when her youngest daughter and granddaughter were St Louis Park Parktacular Ambassadors. Seeing what the program did for them made her want to learn more about these amazing programs. Maggie currently is the President of the Parktacular Festival. She is no stranger to the Minneapolis Aquatennial, she photographed the 2023 Aqua crew through their year as well as took photos for the 2023 St Paul Winter Carnival during their festival. Traveling to communities with Aquatennial demonstrated the value of connecting with communities. Maggie decided the Senior Ambassadors was a great way to do that. She is looking forward to representing the Aquatennial Senior Ambassador program.
