So, actually we should divide this country into more than 3 regions like also dividing north and south? That will make it 6? I think no matter how much divided it will be there are always people who will be dissatisfied with the results. Perhaps Kansas might be the answer after all for all future Nationals but I am sure this will be cut down as well. Where is the Purina site located?

If you live in Boston and the east coast show is in Orlando, it is probably closer to go to Ohio or Indiana. If you live in Portland, OR and the west coast show is in San Diego, you might as well drive to Ft Collins (except for the wonderful San Diego weather). All various sections of the country need to be considered.
