RE/MAX Metro Chicago Real Estate Network’s Hot Air Balloon To Visit Garvey School In Chicago’s Morgan Park On May 26

ELGIN, Ill., May 19, 2010 -- The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon will visit Marcus Garvey Elementary School, 10309 S. Morgan St., in the Morgan Park neighborhood of Chicago on May 26, where the balloon crew will present an interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX Metro Chicago real estate network.

The 320 students at Garvey Elementary will learn about various aspects of ballooning, including its history and the scientific principles involved, and they will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. The RE/MAX balloon will visit more than 40 schools this spring in northern Illinois.

The program will be presented at 12:30 p.m. outdoors on the school grounds, weather permitting, but can be moved indoors if required. During outdoor programs, the balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height if conditions allow. When the program is presented indoors, the envelope is inflated with cold air and students have the opportunity to walk inside it.
