QuickChek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in Association with PNC Bank sponsor an event where a 75-foot tall hot air balloon was inflated on its side with cold air and secured inside the gymnasium at the YMCA of Trenton allowing 50 pre-school children between the ages of 3-5 from the "Y" to play inside while gaining hands-on experiential and educational opportunities to learn about the world around them. Festival executive producer Howard Freeman will provide an age-appropriate lesson on the science of hot air ballooning --- giving kids a chance to “Grow Up Great!”
PNC’s Grow Up Great” program is the most comprehensive corporate-based school readiness program in the country, a $350 million, multi-year initiative that began in 2004 to support school readiness.
The balloon is a retired balloon from the 31st annual QuickChek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in Association with PNC Bank, to be held July 26-27-28, 2013 at Solberg Airport in Readington, NJ.
