Doug,
District Directors tend to place district meets at shows that more than 3 or 4 folks tend to show Ameraucana. Some directors rotate the district meet across the district if there are multiple viable shows, others are pretty consistant and place the meet at the same location each year. If you have ideas, I would suggest contacting your district director. There has been substantial growth in membership in the Northeastern District in the last two years outside of Ohio and Pennsylvania . . . the meet reports from the bulletins tell the show story and how many birds have been shown at what shows.
I have driven to Great Falls, MT and I would drive to Maine.
