RE/MAX Balloon Team to Appear at RE/MAX Synergy Garage Sale Fundraiser (May 18)

Hey all… Max here!

35 Komen Madison 2012Wow! I sure am impressed every time I hear about the amazing things our RE/MAX agents and offices do to support the communities where they live and work. Take RE/MAX Synergy in Forest Lake, MN for example. Broker/Owner, Mike Muske, started the Muske Support Foundation in 1998 and he and his agents have raised funds for their local communites ever since. They’ve helped support food shelves, student scholarships, fire departments, military troops, and toy drives, just to name a few.

Tattoo KidsThis Saturday, May 18th, they’re at it again with the Muske Company Community Support Garage Sale. The 26 foot tall RE/MAX inflatable will beckon the bargain shoppers and our awesome balloon pilot, Steve, will be giving basket and burner demonstrations from 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm. Come out and find a deal while helping the community!

Hot Weekend for the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon

It was a hot weekend for the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon!

Beginning Saturday morning, three RE/MAX hot air balloon pilots took flight at the St. Paul Winter Carnival Hot Air Balloon Rally held at White Bear Beach Park in White Bear Lake, MN.  Crowds gathered to watch the spectacular views of the hot air balloons inflating and then taking off into the blue winter skies.  It made quite an impression on all of those in attendance.

WCCO_HAB_2013The RE/MAX hot air balloons made a number of impressions to those watching on TV as well.  Both KSTP and WCCO aired footage of the Hot Air Balloon Rally Saturday morning.  Between 8:00 and 9:00am, on WCCO alone, more than ten live shots were aired during the newscast and leading into each commercial break. With the RE/MAX hot air balloons in nearly every shot, the coverage brought RE/MAX into thousands of homes across the Twin Cities’ 13-county metro and beyond!

 

HAB_PARADE_2013Later on Saturday afternoon, the RE/MAX hot air balloon baskets and burners made quite an impression at the King Boreas Grand Day Parade in downtown St. Paul, MN.  Three balloon baskets weaved their way through the streets and by thousands of parade-goers; along with the RE/MAX logo on the balloon baskets and cars, RE/MAX attire was worn by the parade crew who passed out more than 5,000 suckers and hundreds of RE/MAX hot air balloon temporary tattoos to parade onlookers.

RE/MAX Presents the St. Paul Winter Carnival Hot Air Balloon Rally- Jan 26-27

524779_474434395936251_1277238249_n[1]More than 50 years ago, as part of the 1962 St. Paul Winter Carnival, White Bear Lake hosted the first modern hot-air balloon race. To honor that first race, RE/MAX will bring it back to the original launching pad for a one-time, two-day event.

Join us at White Bear Beach Park on Lake Avenue/Hwy 96 East (Map) to watch the 10 hot air balloons inflate and the pilots and crews prepare for takeoff. Once launched, watch the sky fill up with colorful balloons floating overhead. Weather permitting., set-up and inflation will begin at 7:30 am on Saturday and Sunday, February 26-27  with launches to begin around 8 am.

Following the flight, the pilots will make their way to St. Paul with their hot air balloon baskets (complete with fire blasting burners) to participate on the King Boreas Grand Day Parade. The parade begins at 2 pm and runs down West 7th Street to Rice Park. View parade route.
