Sammy and Sue are feeling blue since there's nothing else to do after they went on an Easter egg hunt. They told their troubles to Barney, who appeared and told them that an Easter parade was out on their street. Barney and the kids ran outside to see bunnies taking part in the parade, playing instruments and waving their flags. Barney mentions that an Easter parade means springtime is here. Barney suggested to his friends that they join the parade. Sammy played the horn and Sue played the cymbals. Eventually, the trio saw BJ and Baby Bop riding on a float. Barney also pointed out some more bunny friends, including Hopalong Bunny, Hillary Hopper and Big Bopper. They eventually hear the sound of the Easter Bunny and see him riding on a float. The Easter Bunny hugged Sammy and kissed Sue and then left. The parade eventually ended and Sammy and Sue gave Barney a hug as he brightened their day.
Hillary Hopper - a bunny that likes to eat carrots.
