The RE/MAX hot air balloon visits K-12 schools throughout northern Illinois including the city of Chicago.

CHICAGO - May 1, 2013 – The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon will pay a May 15 visit to Wildwood Elementary School, 6950 N. Hiawatha Ave., Chicago, where the balloon crew will present an interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network.

The RE/MAX balloon has become a nationally recognized corporate symbol since it was created 35 years ago and then combined with the now familiar RE/MAX “Above the Crowd!”® slogan. Today, the balloon enjoys great success in achieving both educational and promotional objectives, appearing frequently at festivals, parades and charity events.

The RE/MAX balloon will be involved in more than 100 educational programs presented by its crew at schools across northern Illinois this year.

Three-hundred-forty-five students at Wildwood school, located in the Wildwood-Edgebrook neighborhood on the city’s Northwest Side, 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 program will begin at 9:30 a.m. outdoors on the school grounds, weather permitting. The balloon envelope will be inflated with hot air to its full 75-foot height if the program is held outdoors. If the program needs to be moved indoors due to inclement weather, the envelope will be inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it as part of the educational experience.
