The SL Public Land Preserve has free vending for those with birth dates after 2007, i.e. only joined SL in 2008.

Come to TechHeaven, a rent-free market in Thryis
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Thyris/160/166/26

You pay a one-time fee of $50 to join the Preserve to support the search ads, and you can put out 25 prims.

Please read the rule card carefully -- it's PG, and no camping, gimmicks, spinning stuff, holovendors, etc. are allowed. Just put out your own creations and vendors or used items.

Also check out some newly-renovated other areas in the land preserve type "SL Public Land Preserve" into SEARCH/PLACES to see all the listings, including:

o Iris Moth Temple -- interesting fishing village near the Linden temple with lots to explore, freebies, games, fortunes, orientation for newbies , new tutorials added regularly.

o Durango Winter Cabin -- now with cuddling, hot chocolate, pizza, and snow shoes

o Alice Pocket Park -- fresh-cooked babyback ribs, grilled burgers and frankfurters. Sorry, vegetarians.

o Botany's Grove -- watch the peacock, turkeys, and rabbits running around and see if you can catch sight of the fairies, you can also make an actual pot to take home on the potter's wheel, hang out in the treehouse club, go barrel-racing or sailing and try the paradise blanket with 30 different rezzed scenes.

Camping of the old fashioned sort, i.e. with tents and cabins, is allowed in the preserve for a donation of $10/day.

Got 512 m2 left over from a premium account you aren't using? Donate to the land preserve to help keep 50,000 meters of Second Life at 30 sites free and open to the public for recreation and contemplation.
