Tucker Ridge Spring Sale
Tucker Ridge Hardware is a family owned regional hardware store running a spring sale. Two announcers trade lines, prices, and small town jokes with no visuals to lean on. Ends with the address and store hours tag.

- ANNOUNCER TWO - male, 40s to 60s, dry and unhurried, the guy behind the counter who knows everybody
