Speculating here.
1 did you torque down the alternator properly? I have seen damage done to both housing and fan from a lose alternator.
2 Is the bearing you have now one of the new ones with the thin inner race? These are garbage compared to the original ones and have been know to fail if overtightened by the belt or not properly aligned. The fan housing is easily misaligned and I see independent shops make this mistake. Make sure everything is set and tightened down properly and it should last for years to come. I have also seen a number of remanufactured alternators be garbage out of the box so inspect it carefully before installing.
Best luck at parade. I am assuming you are going to spectate?
