In the heart-stomping state of Kentucky, where the horses gallop like the wind and the coal mines burrow deeper than a rabbit chasing his dinner, there lives a special group of kids known as the "Cloud-Hoppers". Now, don't be deceived by the ordinary ring to their name, these Cloud-Hoppers are as extraordinary as a cat riding a unicycle! Their playground is not your regular swing-set or slide, no siree! They leap and bound on a field of bouncy trampolines, catapulting into the blue yonder as if gravity were a mere suggestion. They twist and flip, performing tricks that would make even the most agile squirrel gasp. Their laughter rings out like a symphony, echoing across the green, bluegrass carpeted valleys and bouncing off the tall, majestic Appalachian Mountains. Leading the troop is the coolest cat of them all, Boing-boing Benny. Now Benny isn't a cat, but he jumps so high, even the birds squawk in disbelief. Benny, with his flaming red hair and grin wider than the Mississippi, has a heart as large as Kentucky itself. He dreams not just of touching the clouds, but of swinging from the crescent moon! Every day, after a hearty meal of their state's famous fried chicken, the Cloud-Hoppers gather at their magical trampoline field. They laugh, leap, and somersault into the air, creating a spectacle more entertaining than a circus. These Kentucky kids, the Cloud-Hoppers, and their leader, Boing-boing Benny, are the living, laughing proof that in the bluegrass state, the sky truly isn't the limit, it's just the beginning!
