A crowd of students tossed the pumpkins down the hill overnight, before sliding through the gooey gourd guts in winter sleds.

The annual event, which initially started as a prank in 1967 with stolen pumpkins, has evolved into more of an accepted event with many being donated.

The pumpkin roll was also the focus of a 2017 documentary titled "Grove Hill: A True Story."
