I spoke with one of the members of the Alton Business Association (ABA), who are one of the co-sponsors of the Winter Carnival.

It was one (or more) of their members who plowed. They have been talking with the FAA about the airport, and they need a "manager".

I can not tell from the picture or by driving by the end of the bay if they have the safe zones from the taxiway to the runway and from the runway to the parking area. It also looks like the end of the runway is farther away from the bandstand than usual, which puts it closer to the boat houses which have bubblers going and usually have a fair amount of open water in front.

I hope they get someone out from the FAA to make sure that all safe zones are present, and then I hope that those with whom the airport shares the ice will respect those zones and keep off the runways, taxiways, and parking areas.
