  1. Hello David! Reach out to the Wegmans in Newark directly. They keep local passports at the service desk. I’m not certain if they print in large quantities but Wegmans can help! If they do not have enough, they can also connect with the Consumer Affairs department to help you inquire on receiving more. You can also contact Consumer Affairs directly: https://www.wegmans.com/service/contact-us.html

  2. We would love to distribute your Wayne County Trail Booklets to our guests. We have hundreds of guests that stay with us to use the local trails for hiking and biking.
    Is it possible to receive some of your 2019 booklets?
