RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon To Make Educational Visit To Clissold School In Chicago On April 2

Program Sponsored by RE/MAX Northern Illinois Real Estate Network

The students at Henry Clissold School, 2350 W. 110th Pl. on the South Side of Chicago, will get an exciting introduction to hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on April 2 as part of an on-going interactive educational program developed by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.

The students and staff at the school will learn about various aspects of ballooning, including its history, the scientific principles involved and a demonstration on how the balloon functions. Weather permitting, the program will be presented at 9:15 a.m. outdoors on the school grounds, and the 75-foot-tall balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air.

Otherwise, the program will be moved indoors to the gymnasium where the balloon envelope will be inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it as part of the educational presentation.
