Program Sponsored By RE/MAX Northern Illinois Real Estate Network
The students at Our Lady of the Gardens School, 13300 S. Langley Ave., in the Riverdale neighborhood of Chicago, IL, will get an exciting introduction to hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on May 14. The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.
The 200 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. The program will be presented at 1:30 p.m. in the school gymnasium where the 75-foot-tall balloon envelope will be inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it as part of the educational presentation.
Students also will go outside for a demonstration of the balloon basket and its propane burners, which heat air to lift the balloon.
