The event celebrates the 30th anniversary of the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon's first flight at the 1978 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and was quickly adopted as the official logo of the RE/MAX Network.  A 26 ft. high RE/MAX Balloon replica  will be on display as well as the RE/MAX Bouncer for the kiddos. Hotdogs and  burgers from our outdoor grill are free to all while they last starting at noon.

As part of our celebration we will also be accepting your old unused cell phones, batteries, chargers, and accessories as part of our Cell Phones For Soldiers Sponsorship. The cell phones are recycled for cash and the proceeds are used to buy prepaid calling cards for our soldiers serving overseas. So pack up all those old phones and accessories and deliver them to us Wednesday, October 8, and help us celebrate.

“We’re proud to show our support for U.S. soldiers, and to contribute to a worthy cause like Cell Phones for Soldiers, and nobody has more old cell phones lying around than REALTORS.” says Al Leonard, CEO of RE/MAX Valley Real Estate. "We'll be accepting all makes and models of cell phones in any condition, as well as chargers, batteries, accessories, Blackberries, PDA's and pagers! Your donation is tax deductible and a receipt for your contribution can be obtained at our Boardman office."
