(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) Governor Eric Greitens stopped by St. Joseph Saturday for a GOP annual fundraiser.

The Lincoln-Reagan Days dinner is an annual event put on by the Buchanan County Republicans at the Benton Club.

Although the dinner was scheduled to go from 6 pm to 8 pm, the Governor left the event about 30 minutes after the start time. KQ2 asked the Governor whether he planned to resign but he did not respond or stop to talk as he left the building.

The Lincoln-Reagan dinner includes a cocktail hour, auction, dinner and guest speakers. The main speaker at this year's dinner was Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. According to the group's website, the event is in, "... recognition of all GOP candidates for primary election."

We have had rain off and on this Saturday across northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri. Scattered showers will continue off and on through the evening and overnight hours but should start to clear up as we head towards the morning. Temperatures will slowly start to warm Sunday into Monday as sunshine returns and conditions start to dry out. Another cold front is headed our way Monday night and that will bring us a chance for rain and possibly some snow into Tuesday morning as the colder air surges into our area. Temperatures look to stay unseasonably cool through the rest of the next week.
