I've seen demonstrations and I always only pay attention out of courtesy.

In my family and their circle of friends cooking is a big deal. People are always looking for new recipes and kitchen gadgets because they really enjoy cooking and feeding tons and tons of people. For example, my mom and I catered my brother's graduation parties (the larger one for high school with about 100 people coming in and out and the smaller one for college with about 20) and my graduation parties (same specs really, maybe a few more for me because I invited a lot of teachers). Anything that people feel can help them in the kitchen is important to them. So they'll watch the demonstration and ask questions and get excited about things.
Plus, hunting is a big thing, and people always want the latest and greatest in hunting knives.
I bought my dad a counter-top wine cooler for Christmas one year and people are constantly asking him where he got it and how much it was because people are THAT INTO other people's kitchens. If someone adds a new kitchen or remodels their kitchen in their house they have dinner parties to show it off, it's really that serious.
There's not a lot of entertainment in our little town. New cars and kitchens draw crowds.
