RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon To Make Educational Visit To Disney Magnet School In Chicago On May 29

Program Sponsored by RE/MAX Northern Illinois Real Estate Network

The students at Walt Disney Magnet School, 4140 N. Marine Dr., 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 29. The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.

The 1,500 students and staff at Disney Magnet 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 8:20 a.m. and 9:20 a.m. outdoors on the school grounds, weather permitting, but can be moved indoors if required. The balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height if the program is held outdoors. If the program moves indoors, the envelope is inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it.
