Elgin, IL, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon has scheduled a visit to the Green Garden Elementary School, 9526 W. Manhattan Monee Road, Frankfort, Ill., on Nov. 10 in order to present an interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX metro Chicago real estate network.

The balloon crew will introduce the 200 students at Green Garden Elementary to various aspects of ballooning, including its history and the scientific principles involved, and the students will see a demonstration on how the balloon functions. The RE/MAX balloon has visited more than 50 schools this year in northern Illinois.

The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. outdoors on the school grounds, weather permitting, but can be moved indoors if required.
