Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney stops by the St. Louis area Tuesday, as part of his campaign for nominee.

Republican Rick Santorum hosted his victory party in neighboring St. Charles County the night of Missouri's non-binding primary.

PoliticMo said Tuesday was Romney's first public campaign event here. His most recent visit was last fall for a fundraiser. According to PoliticMo:

"Romney is scheduled to be in the state on Tuesday, just days before Missouri’s presidential caucuses, and after a weekend when two of his rivals made their case to the state’s conservative voters.

Romney’s first event will be Tuesday morning in St. Louis. Romney is scheduled hold a town hall meeting at Kirkwood Park. Later in the day, Romney is scheduled to be in Liberty, MO, for a ‘Caucus for Romney’ event at William Jewell College.

Besides the candidate’s events, the campaign is expected to dispatch surrogates, including members of the Romney family, across the state throughout the week ahead of the caucus."

According to the STL Beacon, the former Massachusetts governor begin his Kirkwood meeting at 11:50 a.m. on Tuesday at Kirkwood Park, which is located at 111 South Geyer Rd.
