Rainout: Ribbon

Entry Tag is the exhibitor book for people who enter open-class home arts at county and state fairs. Canners, bakers, quilters, gardeners, needleworkers and photographers use it to track about a dozen entries a year from the fair's premium book, from the first plan to the judge's comment card.

Each entry records the department, class and lot number. It also holds the class rule in your own words, the recipe or pattern you used, a photo, and where the entry stands: planned, made, dropped off or judged. After judging you log the placing (blue, red, white, champion or Best of Show), the premium money and what the judge wrote.

When you get to the exhibit hall, Entry Tag turns each rule into a checklist. "One half-pint, standard jar, ring on, label with product and date" becomes four boxes to tick at the table, before the superintendent sees the jar. Tick them all and hand the entry over.

The fair calendar holds the dates for every fair you enter: entry deadline, drop-off window, judging day and pickup. Tap the bell next to any of them and you'll get a reminder.

The ribbon wall holds every ribbon from every season. It shows your premium total, how each department has done, and which recipes and patterns placed best over the years, so you know which jam card to pull out again.

Entry Tag doesn't send entries to the fair office, doesn't give canning processing times or food-safety advice, and doesn't rate recipes. It only keeps your notes and the judges' results. It works offline, uses US units and needs no account.
