SUGGESTED LEAD IN :
"Taybeh" is an Arabic word meaning both 'delicious' and 'good spirited people'.
The second annual October Fest, held in the West Bank village of Taybeh offered plenty of both.
The festival was created to celebrate a locally brewed beer and once again the festival goers seemed to be in very good spirits as they sampled the product.
STORYLINE:
The town hall in the West Bank village of Taybeh was packed with people celebrating the start of the town's very own version of October Fest.
But Taybeh's October Fest is also aimed at boosting the depressed local economy.
