Yorkville, IL Real Estate Expert Sponsors RE/MAC Hot Air Balloon Visit To Millbrook And Newark Schools On May 15

Yorkville, IL real estate expert Terri Jeffries of RE/MAX Great American II in Yorkville, Ill., is sponsoring a visit of the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon.

Students at Millbrook Junior High School and Newark Elementary School will get together on May 15 to learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the junior high school at 8411 Fox River Dr., Millbrook, Ill., to present a special interactive educational program. The visit is part of an on-going balloon education program developed by RE/MAX Northern Illinois.

Newark Elementary is located at 503 Chicago Road, Newark, Ill.

The students at both schools will learn about various aspects of ballooning, its history and the scientific principles involved. Plus, they will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. During one portion of the program, students can walk inside the balloon envelope, which is partially inflated with cold air.

This program will help the students learn more about ballooning and how it relates to the subjects they study in school. It will start at 8:30 a.m. Later, if weather permits, the 70-foot-tall balloon will be fully inflated outdoors.
