Unforgettable: ‘Captain 11′ is a Magical Piece Of Sioux Falls History
There was one thing to look forward to after school growing up on that little farm in southwest Minnesota. One thing that went really well with a bowl of Wheaties sitting on that linoleum floor in the living room.
If you lived in the Sioux Falls area, the Sioux Empire, and grew up anytime between 1953 and 1996, you did the same thing (maybe minus the Wheaties). For over 40 years kids, and their kids. and maybe their kids too. were glued to the television.

He must be fair. He must be brave. You have fulfilled these requirements, and we of the outer galaxies designate to you the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Atlas. You are Captain 11!"
With the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Atlas, this magic man called Captain 11 would transport me to cartoon heaven.
The trip would include watching switches made of jewels light up, trunks of toys looking for that one special key, and a salute at the end and a reminder to say my prayers.
Wave one hand - wave both hands - wave both hands and one foot - now wave both hands and both feet.
So why the name Captain 11? Well, because KELO TV was on channel 11 of course!
I saw Captain 11 once in person. He came out to the Edgerton Dutch Festival (and I'll bet he came to your town, too. he was everywhere!). I was maybe five or six and he was part of the Festival Parade.
He got out of a car and began walking towards me and my family. I, of course, did the only sensible thing. I cried. Hey, gimme a break! The most important and powerful hero I had was getting close!
Years later I met Captain 11 when I was working on KSOO Radio. He had magically transformed himself (Captain 11 had magic powers) and now called himself Dave Dedrick. He remembered being at the Dutch Festival several times and said he had a pair of wooden shoes to prove it!
Dave wrote a book about his life. It turns out Dave Dedrick, or as I like to call him Captain 11, had his life challenges like we all do. Turns out Captain 11 wasn't perfect. And that's OK, in my many years on the planet I've discovered that no one is.
It's well enough (in fact, it's a tribute to this man, this Captain 11) that all these decades later he can still transport an old(er) bald, skinny guy back to a linoleum farmhouse floor and make him smile. that memory sure does bend warm.
Take a trip down memory lane with this Captain 11 tribute. Who knows, you just might see yourself.
Overall, the decorative witch lantern from Cracker Barrel is a delightful and festive item that adds a touch of whimsy and charm to Halloween decor. Its unique design, vibrant colors, and glitter accents make it a standout piece that is sure to enchant both children and adults alike..
Reviews for "Halloween Decor: Transforming a Cracker Barrel into a Magical Witch Lantern"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the decorative witch lantern from Cracker Barrel. The design looked much better in the pictures than in person, and the quality was subpar. The lantern felt flimsy and cheaply made. Additionally, the colors were not as vibrant as expected, and the overall effect was underwhelming. I was hoping to use this lantern as a centerpiece for my Halloween decorations, but it just didn't meet my expectations. I would not recommend purchasing this item.
2. Mark - 1 star - I was extremely dissatisfied with the decorative witch lantern from Cracker Barrel. The lantern arrived damaged, with several parts broken and loose. The packaging wasn't protective enough to prevent damage during shipping. Even if it had arrived intact, I would still have been unimpressed with the product. The craftsmanship was poor, with visible glue and sloppy paint job. The lantern looked cheap and not worth the price. Save your money and buy a better quality decoration elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The decorative witch lantern from Cracker Barrel was a disappointment. The size was much smaller than anticipated, and it didn't have the same impact as shown in the photos. The lantern emitted a dull, flickering light that didn't create an eerie ambiance. The overall design felt generic, lacking any unique or intricate details. I expected a more visually appealing and captivating product. While it may work as a small accent piece, it doesn't make a significant statement. I wouldn't recommend investing in this lantern unless you're looking for something basic and unremarkable.
