Lifelong Learning Institute at Waubonsee Community College

Balloons are not only for parties.  Come and discover the fascinating history of balloons and the practical purposes that they play in our everyday lives.  We will discuss the wide range of balloons' applications; they are used in meterology, medical treatment, military defense, and transportation.  Course participants will have the opportunity to meet the owner and operator of a local hot air balloon business and experience what an actual hot air balloon looks and feels like.
