Coles Language Academy in South Chicago Will Welcome RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon on May 9 for Exciting, Interactive Educational Experience

Chicago, IL, May 08, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon visits Edward Coles Language Academy, 8441 S. Yates Blvd., in the South Chicago community of Chicago on May 9. The balloon crew will present an interactive educational program developed and sponsored by the RE/MAX real estate network in northern Illinois.

The 200 students and staff members at the school will learn about the physics of ballooning and its history. The program will begin at 1 p.m. in the school gymnasium.

The 75-foot-tall balloon envelope will be partially inflated with cold air so that students can walk inside it as part of the educational experience. Students also will go outside for a demonstration of the balloon basket and its propane burners, which heat air to lift the balloon.

Also on hand to enhance the occasion will be a “cold air” version of the RE/MAX Soaring Home Balloon, a house-like inflatable that has become a crowd favorite since being introduced a few years ago.

Since its creation 36 years ago, the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon has become an internationally recognized corporate symbol, especially in combination with the classic RE/MAX “Above the Crowd!”® slogan. The balloon appears frequently at festivals, parades and charity events and in the skies of northern Illinois.

This year the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon will be involved in numerous educational programs presented by its crew at schools throughout northern Illinois.
