RE/MAX Metro Chicago Real Estate Network’s Hot Air Balloon Program Visits Frost Elementary, Mt. Prospect, on June 2

ELGIN, Ill., May 26, 2010 -- The RE/MAX metro Chicago real estate network has announced that the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew will visit Robert Frost Elementary School, 1308 S. Cypress Dr., Mt. Prospect, Ill., on June 2 to present an interactive educational program developed by the RE/MAX network.

The students at Frost 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 twice, at 9:30 and 10:30 a.m., in the school gymnasium to accommodate all 420 students. The 75-foot-tall balloon envelope will be inflated with cold air, permitting students to walk inside it. The presentation then will conclude outdoors with a demonstration of how the balloon basket and burners operate.
