COMSTOCK PARK, Mich.- If you drive down West River Drive in Downtown Comstock Park, don't be alarmed to find that our Panther green and gold has been replaced with purple. 

Purple banners currently adorn the lampposts throughout the Comstock Park business district.  The purple banners are part of the "Paint the Town Purple" campaign that was launched Wednesday, May 1, 2013 by the Relay For Life of Comstock Park Committee.
