About that free Store Pack with 50 Spell Energy and 1 Barrufio’s Brain Elixir...
I saw it last night around 9 pm EST, with a countdown timer that stated it would be available for 16 hours X many minutes, etc. There were even two Portkeys and other potions in it.
As all my items were close to max, figured I would pick it up this morning. However, sometime between then and now, it has disappeared.

Well, that was anticlimactic. Without a focus on a specific foundable/family or something like an exclusive move as on Pokémon Go Community Days, it’s just a three hour going session window.
With heat indexes over 100°F all over the US today, I hope people stuck to the malls.
@SamuelHaight I’m definitely not going to argue about Phoenix being stupid hot midday, but if you think Phoenix is “extremely humid” with average humidity around 20%, don’t go East in the summer months. It’s 96° in Chicago right now, but with humidity at 50%, the heat index is 109°. Suffice it to say we should all be inside! 😊
None of the aforementioned features really had anything to do with gathering together as a community. In fact, it almost encourages the player to go solo for most efficiency and to avoid the group Fortresses since really all this was was a "Flare up" event for Hogwards School fragments but with a different name.
"Community Day" Features Should Include:
1) Increased XP Bonus for Group and Grouping with Friends in Fortresses
2) Increased fragment and XP from foundables when in proximity of friends
3) Bonus to XP and Fragments for both players when a new friendship is formed
These are just a small handful of ideas that should be quite simple to implement and would encourage interaction between players on a day named for getting together.
@Siragaz while I don’t necessarily disagree with the suggestion, not everyone can find others playing... I hit the usual spots, didn’t see one person playing. Which is typical in my town. I know others are here. I see the fortress lit up occasionally and plants growing in greenhouse, but we aren’t seeing each other.
@Dogoutlaw same here. I live within walking distance of a small, well maintained park that has 12 inns, 3 greenhouses and 2 fortresses. I can sit at a covered picnic table with one fortress, 5 Inns and a greenhouse in my activity circle. Seen several people light it up but no one came out for Community Day...
@CytopeAchen your park sounds awesome! I have a park nearby with two greenhouses and a bunch of inns, but no fortress. The fortress most people seem to use is in town where there are more inns in easy walking distance. But it’s in a grocery store parking lot. So people can be playing it from inside that store or nearby shops. Or their cars too I suppose. Makes it difficult to find them. And I do look around for them.

@FunkyGaaroth You're correct: Baruffio’s Brain Elixir will give you 3x XP instead of the regular 2x, not in addition to it.
Well, it is hot, humid, and rainy over here. With high chances of tropical cyclone. So yeah save....
Enjoying the community day here in the Philippines ☺
I'll be playing at Eastview Mall, Victor, NY.

Go into your suitcase, Vault, then Diagon Alley. Should be able to grab it there, @Roinette
What do I for the event today

I received the in-game Free Gift notification but at no stage did the item appear in Diagon Alley (I checked immediately and then every 20 minutes).
I wasn't too worried about not receiving it because there was nothing essential in it AFAIK.
But I will be a bit upset if the same thing happens on 10 August.
