Our first MAX Picnic of the year is in the books, and what a great way to kick off the season! 🎈☀️

This past weekend, RE/MAX North Country welcomed their community to Alpha for a Family Fun Day filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of fun for all ages. From the MAX Picnic setup featuring the bounce house and Fly Guys to agents getting a hands-on experience in the balloon basket and igniting the burners, there was excitement around every corner.

A big thank you to RE/MAX North Country for hosting such a wonderful community event and helping us start the 2026 MAX Picnic season on a high note. We loved spending the day with everyone and can't wait for the many picnics still to come this year!

Today’s School Balloon Program took us north to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for a special visit with West Iron County School in Iron River! 🎈

Students gathered in the school gym to learn all about the science, history, and operation of hot air balloons before watching the balloon inflate right in front of them. Afterward, students had the unforgettable opportunity to walk inside the balloon envelope and experience it up close for themselves!

A huge thank you to West Iron County School for welcoming our balloon team today, and special thanks to RE/MAX North Country for helping make this connection possible. We loved bringing the magic of hot air balloons to the UP! ❤️🤍💙

What a way to break in a brand new gym! 🎈🏫

Today’s RE/MAX School Balloon Program at Western Elementary in Parma felt like an opening day headliner as students packed into the new gym for their very first presentation inside the space. From eagerly waiting for the program to begin, to walking through the inside of the balloon, to watching pilot Dennis Hall fire up the burners outside, it was an unforgettable day full of excitement and learning!

Today’s school balloon program took us to Cannonsburg Elementary in Rockford, and what an incredible experience it was.

Students gathered in the gym to learn sitting on top of the balloon envelope as they experienced the science and story behind flight in a hands-on way. One of the highlights was seeing students fully inside the balloon as it filled their gym with color, curiosity, and excitement.

A special moment from today was watching RE/MAX United Broker/Owner Tom Rich crouched down in the balloon basket under the burners, sharing in the experience and helping bring the demonstration to life for the students.

We’re grateful to Cannonsburg Elementary for welcoming us into their school and creating such an engaged and enthusiastic environment for the program.

Thank you as well to RE/MAX United for being part of making today possible and supporting this outreach in our communities.

More balloon adventures ahead—Rockford, you were amazing! 🎈
