Auburn, NY – Controversy is brewing in Auburn over a radio and television advertisement for a local store. John Hurd, owner of The Casket Store, decided three months ago to use an adaptation of a children's song to promote his business. But Hurd told WRVO's Skye Rohde that not everybody was happy about that.
