RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon To Make Educational Visit To MacArthur School In Prospect Heights On Oct. 2

Presented By the RE/MAX Metro Chicago Real Estate Network

Students at MacArthur Middle School, 700 N. Schoenbeck Road in Prospect Heights, Ill., will get an exciting introduction to hot air ballooning thanks to a visit from the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew on Oct. 2. The visit is part of an on-going interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX metro Chicago real estate network.

The 550 students at MacArthur 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. 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.
