The Kemper Center Board of Directors presented Kenosha County Executive Jim Kreuser with the 2021 Penny Enroth Award at its annual meeting held Tuesday, August 27.
Each year, the Penny Enroth Award is given to an individual who has contributed greatly to the operation of Kemper Center in its cultural, historical, and recreational role in the Kenosha community and beyond. The award is named after Penny Enroth, a 1958 graduate of Kemper Hall. She, along with a group of other alumnae and civic leaders, led the fight to preserve and keep Kemper Hall and the Durkee Mansion from private development after it closed as a school in 1975. Due to her efforts, Kemper Center was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
