Sale Away® Balloon
Fun Facts
Sale Away took 150 hours to design.
Sale Away is 41 feet tall and 54.5 feet wide.
Three seamstresses worked full-time for three weeks to stitch together the 3,390 yards of fabric.
More than 11 miles of thread was used.
The RE/MAX Balloon images on the sides of Sale Away are 21 feet tall.
Two gas-powered inflator fans, each equipped with 24-inch propellers, are used for inflation.
The envelope weighs 589 pounds.
Since 1979, the red, white and blue RE/MAX yard sign has symbolized new beginnings for millions of people around the world. Now this emblem sales away from the front yard and takes to the sky.
More than 27 times taller than a standard RE/MAX yard sign, and large enough to cover five average-size North American homes, the Sale Away Special-Shape Hot Air Balloon is the newest addition to the RE/MAX Balloon fleet. An estimated 100,000 people will see Sale Away every time it flies at RE/MAX events, charity fundraisers, sporting events and major balloon festivals.
