I remember being so excited, but he may have even been more excited. He followed them all the time when I was growing up. It was a dream come true for the both of us.

Said Kendricks: I have an appreciation for all kinds of art and going there really instilled that in me at a young age. I would go there during the day and then play sports for other schools. You have to win a raffle to get in. My mom did that for me and I got lucky.
