(Riverton, WY) – The much anticipated Cloud Kisser IV has arrived, according to an update from the Riverton Wyoming Rendezvous Facebook page.
This new balloon replaces the Cloud Kisser III which took its final flight in Riverton the last weekend of December 2020. The balloon ended its career with 647 hours and was retired due to natural aging.
The new Cloud Kisser features the new Riverton logo overlaid on black fabric instead of white. They also shared a reminder that “all hot air balloon expenses are covered by grants, community donations, and paid rides. No tax dollars are used to fund balloon operations.”
The new balloon arrives just a few short weeks ahead of the 41st annual Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Rally happening July 16-18. More info can be found here.
