Mayor Fleck proclaims May 28 as Relay for Life's Power of Purple Day in Columbia City
(Talk of the Town photo by Jennifer Zartman Romano) Volunteers involved in Whitley County’s upcoming Relay for Life event, slated for June 7 at Indian Springs Middle School, are sharing their support for those fighting cancer with Power of Purple Day in Whitley County on May 28. Local residents are encouraged to wear purple on that day in honor of those fighting cancer or, perhaps, in memory of those we’ve lost to cancer. 
Above, Columbia City Mayor Jim Fleck issued an official proclamation on Wednesday declaring May 28 as Power of Purple Day in the community.
